Question

The thickness of a nickel is 0.077 inch. What is the thickness rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Answer 1

Answer:   0.1

Explanation

Use a place value chart if you haven't memorized the place values.

The 2nd copy of "0" is in the tenths place. The next digit over is 7 which fits the "5 or greater" criteria. We'll increase the 0.0 to 0.1

Everything else is erased.
