Sure! Let’s solve each problem step by step. The goal is to
round each decimal to the nearest thousandth.

📌 What does “nearest thousandth” mean?
The
thousandth place is the
third digit to the right of the decimal point.
To round to the nearest thousandth:
1. Look at the
digit in the ten-thousandth place (the 4th digit after the decimal).
2. If that digit is
5 or greater, round
up the thousandth digit by 1.
3. If it’s
less than 5, leave the thousandth digit
unchanged.
4. Drop all digits after the thousandth place.
