Let's solve each problem by rounding the given decimals to the
nearest thousandth.
🔍 What is the "nearest thousandth"?
- The
thousandth place is the
third digit to the right of the decimal point.
- To round to the nearest thousandth, look at the
fourth digit after the decimal (the ten-thousandth place):
- If it's
5 or greater, round
up the thousandth digit.
- If it's
less than 5, keep the thousandth digit
the same.
