How do you round 13.681 to 1 decimal place?

Answer 1

13.7

1 decimal place means the first number after the decimal, so here it's 6. We then look at the number after it, which is 8. If the number after 1dp is higher than 5, we round the number before it up This means .68 becomes .7 If the number after 6 was lower than 5, it would stay at 6, e.g; .63 would be .6 Hope this helps :)

To round 13.681 to 1 decimal place, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the desired decimal place, which is the hundredth place.

Since the digit in the hundredth place is 8, which is greater than or equal to 5, you increase the digit in the tenths place (the digit at the desired decimal place) by 1.

Therefore, rounding 13.681 to 1 decimal place, the result is 13.7.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
