Question

Round 5.259
to the tenths place.

Answer 1

To round 5.259 to the tenths place, you need to look at the hundredths place, which is the second digit after the decimal point.

1. The tenths place in 5.259 is 2 (the first digit after the decimal).
2. The hundredths place is 5 (the second digit after the decimal).

Since the hundredths place (5) is 5 or greater, you round up the tenths place.

So, 2 (tenths place) + 1 = 3.

Thus, 5.259 rounded to the tenths place is **5.3**.
