Question

Round off $56.983$ to tenths place.

Answer 1

Rounding off the decimals

• As the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal i.e. $9$ in $56.983$.
• To rounding off this digit we need to look the digit which is immediately to its right i.e. $8$ in $56.983$
• As the digit $8$ is greater than $5$, so $1unit$ will be added in the digit which is to be rounding off i.e $9+1$
• $9+1=10$, at the place of $9$ we will write $0$ and $1$ will be carry forward to previous digit hence $6$will become $7$.
• so round off of $56.983$ to tenths place is $57$.

Hence the answer is $57$.
