Question

what is $10,711.9951 rounded to the nearest dime? $10,711.00 $10,712.99 $10,712.00 $10,711.90

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the place value

A dime is worth \$0.10, so we need to round to the nearest tenth of a dollar (the first decimal place). The number is \$10,711.9951.

Step2: Look at the digit to the right

The digit in the hundredth place (second decimal place) is 9, and the digit in the thousandth place (third decimal place) is 5. When rounding, if the digit to the right of the place we're rounding to is 5 or more, we round up.

Step3: Round the tenths place

The tenths place digit is 9. Rounding up 9 gives 10, so we carry over to the ones place. The ones place digit is 1, adding 1 (from the carry over) makes it 2. The tenths place becomes 0 after carrying over. So \$10,711.9951 rounded to the nearest dime is \$10,712.00.

Answer:

\$10,712.00
