Question

12.35 cm to the nearest 0.1 cm ?

Answer 1

Answer:

no 12.35cm is not nearest to 0.1

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever something says "to the nearest xxx," you should go solve or measure to the next decimal place and then round. Solve any "round to nearest 0.1" to the second decimal (0.01). Solve any "round to nearest 0.01" to the third decimal (0.001). Etc.  If the instructions have one digit after the decimal, your answer should as well. If the instructions have two digits after the decimal, your answer should as well.

If it says to the nearest 0.1, then you should solve the problem to the second decimal place (i.e. 2.36, 12.04, 65.95) and then round to the 0.1 (i.e. 2.4, 12.0, 66.0). I would include the 0 in the appropriate decimal place to clarify that it has been rounded.

Your specific examples to the nearest 0.1

5.0 is the same as 5.00--which would round to 5.0 (gee, it's the same)

4.8 is the same as 4.80--which would round to 4.8 (gee, it's the same as well)
