Question

Round 613.5279 to 3 decimal places

Answer 1

3 decimal places is referring to the numbers to the right of the decimal. There can only be 3 numbers after the decimal in this case, so we will need to round the third number. First, let's identify the last decimal place we will be using:

 

613.5279      In this case, the place that the 7 is in will be the last decimal place we use.

 

Now, the number to the right of the 7 will determine if it increases or stays the same. If that number is less than 5, it remains a 7. If that number is greater than 5, the 7 will increase by one to become an 8.

 

The number to the right of the 7 is a 9, so the 7 becomes an 8 and your final answer is:

 

613.528
