Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The number to be rounded is180.85. The rounding is to be done to the nearest tenth
STEP 2
To round to the nearest tenth, we need to look at the digit in the hundredths place.The number in the tenths place is8 and the number in the hundredths place is5.
STEP 3
If the number in the hundredths place is5 or more, we round up the number in the tenths place. If it is less than5, we keep the number in the tenths place as it is.
In this case, the number in the hundredths place is5, so we round up the number in the tenths place.
STEP 4
Rounding up the number in the tenths place means adding1 to it. So,8 becomes9.
STEP 5
After rounding, the number becomes180.9.
So,180.85 rounded to the nearest tenth is180.9.
