Rounding to the Nearest Tenth: 0.0625
In this article, we will explore how to round the decimal number 0.0625 to the nearest tenth.
Understanding Rounding
Rounding is a mathematical operation where we approximate a number to a specific decimal place. In this case, we want to round 0.0625 to the nearest tenth, which means we want to find the closest number with one digit after the decimal point.
Rounding 0.0625
To round 0.0625 to the nearest tenth, we need to look at the hundredths place, which is the third digit after the decimal point. In this case, the hundredths place is 2.
Since the hundredths place is less than 5, we round down to the nearest tenth. Therefore, we can drop the hundredths place and the thousandths place, and the result is:
0.1
So, 0.0625 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.1.
Conclusion
Rounding decimal numbers to the nearest tenth is a simple process that involves looking at the hundredths place and deciding whether to round up or down. In this case, we rounded 0.0625 down to the nearest tenth, resulting in 0.1.
