What is 9.725 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Asked by sadyfluffy

Answer (2)

9.7
You round up or down from the number that is one place to the right of where you are rounding to. In this case, you are given 9.72---- (the rest does not matter because you are only rounding to the tenths place). You round up if the next number over is 5 or greater (5,6,7,8,9) and you round down if the number over is 4 or less (4,3,2,1,0).

9.725 rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.7. You look at the hundredths place to determine whether to round up or keep the tenths digit the same. Since the hundredths digit is 2 (less than 5), the final answer is 9.7.
