Question

a high school athlete ran the 100 m sprint in 13.245 seconds random number to the nearest tenths

Answer 1

To round the time of 13.245 seconds to the nearest tenths, you look at the hundredths place (which is the second digit after the decimal point). In this case, the hundredths place is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, you round down.

Thus, 13.245 seconds rounded to the nearest tenths is **13.2 seconds**.
