A tomato plant at Martha’s garden is 0.853 meters and a corn stalk 0.891 meters how do you round both measures to the nearest tenth?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the tenths place in the number. It is the 1st digit to the right of the decimal point.

Look at the digit to the right of that. If it is 5 or more, add 1 in the tenths place. Drop all digits to the right of the tenths place.

0.853 has 5 in the hundredths place, so you add 1 to the tenths place

  0.853 rounded to tenths is 0.9

0.891 has 9 in the hundredths place, so you add 1 to the tenths place

  0.891 rounded to tenths is 0.9

both round to 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 0.853 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.9

2. 0.891 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.9

3. to round a number to the nearest tenth (a tenth is 0.1) you need to look at the number after it (a hundredth is 0.01). If it's equal to or bigger than 5 then you round up otherwise round down.

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0
