13.989 rounded to nearest tenth is 14.0
Solution:
We have to round off 13.989 to nearest tenth
Let us first understand about rounding off rules Rounding off rules:
First look at the digit to immediate right of rounding off digit
If that digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it.
If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it.
You need more information to round to the nearest tenth, you need the hundredths column.
For example, if the number was 6.54, we look at the number beside the tenth column, the hundredths column. If it is 4 or less, we round down and don't add one to the tenths column and the result is 6.5.
However, if the number was 6.55, the number beside the tenths column is 5 or greater, we add 1 to the tenths column and get 6.6.
TenTH = A fraction of a whole, the 'th' tells that.
So, since 25,099 is a 'Whole' number, with No fraction of a whole, or no part/fraction of 1, therefor, rounded to the nearest tenth, it remains the same.
.1 = 1st position to the right of the decimal point is tenths
.15 = 2nd position is hundredths
.158 = 3rd position is thousandths
If any number is a value of 5 or greater, when rounding UP, then you can increase the value of the number immediately to its left by 1. If lower than 5, then it remains the same, you can't round up.
So, rounding up to nearest tenths of the number 32.158 = 32.2
