To round the number 17.28571429 to the specified places, we can follow these steps:

  1. Round to the tenths place:

    • Look at the digit in the hundredths place (which is 8 in this case).
    • Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the tenths place (which is 2) by 1.
    • Therefore, 17.28571429 rounded to the tenths place is 17.3.
  2. Round to the hundredths place:

    • Look at the digit in the thousandths place (which is 5 in this case).
    • Since 5 is equal to 5, we round up the hundredths place (which is 8) by 1.
    • Therefore, 17.28571429 rounded to the hundredths place is 17.29.
  3. Round to the thousandths place:

    • Look at the digit in the ten-thousandths place (which is 7 in this case).
    • Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the thousandths place (which is 5) by 1.
    • Therefore, 17.28571429 rounded to the thousandths place is 17.286.

In summary:

  • Tenths place: 17.3
  • Hundredths place: 17.29
  • Thousandths place: 17.286
