Also how would you round 2.59 to the nearest tenths ?

2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenths digit is the 5.

Drop every digit after the 5. You get 2.5

Now you need to see if the 5 stays as it is or if it goes up by 1 to 6.

The first digit after the 5 you dropped is 9. Since 9 is greater than 4, the previous digit goes up by 1, so the 5 becomes a 6.

The final answer is 2.6

2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding, if the decimal place after what you are rounding is ≥5, you round up. ≤4, you dont do anything.

Example:

6.37 rounded to the nearest tenth is 6.4 because the 7 in the hundredths place is ≥5

5.32 rounded to the nearest  tenth is 5.3 because 2 is ≤5 so we do nothing.

In our problem:

2.59 rounded to the nearest 10th is 2.6 because 9 is ≥5 so we round up.
