To round the number 17.28571429 to different decimal places, follow these steps:

  1. Tenths Place: Look at the digit in the hundredths place (which is 8 in this case). Since it is 5 or greater, round up the tenths place from 2 to 3.

    • Rounded to tenths: 17.3

  2. Hundredths Place: Look at the digit in the thousandths place (which is 5 in this case). Since it is 5 or greater, round up the hundredths place from 8 to 9.

    • Rounded to hundredths: 17.29

  3. Thousandths Place: Look at the digit in the ten-thousandths place (which is 7 in this case). Since it is 5 or greater, round up the thousandths place from 5 to 6.

    • Rounded to thousandths: 17.286
