Answer 1

Let's evaluate each student's rounding to determine who rounded their numbers correctly.

1. Kevin rounded 9.461 to the nearest tenth:
   The tenths place is 4, and the number following it is 6 (from 9.461). Since 6 is 5 or greater, we round up:
   Correct value: 9.5
   Kevin's result: 9.4 (Incorrect)

2. Rose rounded 6.904 to the nearest tenth:
   The tenths place is 9, and the following digit is 0. Since 0 is less than 5, we do not round up:
   Correct value: 6.9
   Rose's result: 6.9 (Correct)

3. Darla rounded 7.153 to the nearest hundredth:
   The hundredths place is 5, and the following digit is 3. Since 3 is less than 5, we do not round up:
   Correct value: 7.15
   Darla's result: 7.2 (Incorrect)

4. Bernie rounded 8.152 to the nearest tenth:
   The tenths place is 1, and the following digit is 5. Since 5 is 5 or greater, we round up:
   Correct value: 8.2
   Bernie's result: 8.15 (Incorrect)

5. Cody rounded 5.378 to the nearest hundredth:
   The hundredths place is 7, and the following digit is 8. Since 8 is 5 or greater, we round up:
   Correct value: 5.38
   Cody's result: 5.38 (Correct)

Correct students: Rose and Cody.
