Question

Rounding "nine and sixty-one thousandths" to the nearest tenths gives ___

• A. 9.6
• B. 9.06
• C. 9.61
• D. 9.1

Answer 1

The correct option is D 9.1

Nine and sixty-one thousandths is 9.061


To round off the digit in tenths place, we look at digit in the hundredths place.

If the digit is greater than 5, the gigit in tenths place increases by 1.

As 6 > 5, so the digit in the tenths place increases from 0 to 1, while the digits in the hundredths and the thousandths place become 0.



Hence, 9.061 gets rounded up to 9.1
