Question

How do you round 0.78372 to three decimal places?

Answer 1

0.784

Explanation:

First look at the number in the third decimal place (3), then go one more place to the right (7). Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round the 3 up to a 4 to get 0.784.

Answer 2

Three decimal places is either `.783 or .784;` since the next digit is `7` the number is closer to `.784` so we choose that.

`0.78372 approx 0.784`
