I really need help to answer this problem question and am in year 6

Answer 1

You need to round to two decimal places.  Look at the number in the 3rd decimal place.

If that number is 4 or less, just drop all numbers behind 2nd decimal place.

If that number is 5 or higher, round the 2nd decimal up by 1, then drop all the rest.

 

48.385

 

3rd decimal is 5.  Round the 8 up by 1 to 9 and drop all the rest.

 

48.39
