Round each number to the place of the underlined digit The underlined digit is 6 in 16.5

Answer 1

To round the number 16.5 to the place of the underlined digit (which is the tenths place, represented by 6 in this case), you need to look at the digit to the right of the tenths place.

1. Identify the digit in the tenths place (6 in the number 16.5).
2. Look at the digit in the hundredths place (the digit to the right of 6 in 16.5, which is 5).
3. Since the digit in the hundredths place (5) is 5 or greater, you round up.

Therefore, rounding 16.5 to the tenths place gives you:

17.0 (or just 17).
