Round off the following decimals.
(a) 52.6583 correct up to 2 places of decimal.
Solution:
52.6583
Rounding off 52.6583 correct up to 2 places of decimal means rounding off to the nearest hundredths
In 52.6583 we observe the digit at the thousandths place value and round off 52.6583 correct up to 2 places of decimal.
The digit at the thousandths place is 8 and 8 > 5.
The digit at the hundredths place increases by 1 and the digit at the thousandths place becomes 0.
Therefore, 52.6583 is rounded off as 52.66
(b) 103.06 correct up to 1 place of decimal.
Solution:
103.06
Rounding off 103.06 correct up to 1 places of decimal means rounding off to the nearest tenths
In 103.06 we observe the digit at the hundredths place value and round off 103.06 correct up to 1 place of decimal.
The digit at the hundredths place is 6 and 6 > 5.
The digit at the tenths place increases by 1 and the digit at the hundredths place becomes 0.
Therefore, 103.06 is rounded off as 103.1
(c) 189.0072 correct up to 3 places of decimal.
Solution:
189.0072
Rounding off 189.0072 correct up to 3 places of decimal means rounding off to the nearest thousandths
In 189.0072 we observe the digit at the ten thousandths place value and round off 189.0072 correct up to 3 places of decimal.
The digit at the ten thousandths place is 2 and 2 < 5.
The digit at the thousandths place remains unchanged and the digit at the ten thousandths place becomes 0 (rounded down).
Therefore, 189.0072 is rounded off as 189.007
