How do you round 163.9299 to 1 decimal place?

Answer 1

Julian Avila

Look at the hundredths place.

If the hundredths place is 5 to 9, round up. If it is 0 to 4, round down. In this case:

163.9 2 99

The hundredths place is a 2, so you would round down to 163.9.

To round 163.9299 to 1 decimal place, you look at the digit in the second decimal place. If it is 5 or greater, you round the digit in the first decimal place up by 1. If it is less than 5, you leave the digit in the first decimal place as it is.

So, for 163.9299 rounded to 1 decimal place, since the digit in the second decimal place (2) is less than 5, we leave the digit in the first decimal place (9) unchanged. Therefore, the rounded value is 163.9.
