Round to the nearest tenth for 69.08, 43.96, 39.564 please show how to do it ​

69.08 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 69.08 to the nearest tenth, 0 is in the tenths place and 8 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (8) is greater than  5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (0).

1 + 0 = 1, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 1  & the digit in the hundredths place is dropped.

∴ 69.08 ≈ 69.1 (corrected to the nearest tenth)

43.96 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 43.96 to the nearest tenth, 9 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (6) is more than 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9), add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9). This will also add 1 to the whole number part and make the fractional part 0.

1 + 9 = 10

∴ 43.96 ≈ 44 (corrected to the nearest tenth)

39.564 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 39.564 to the nearest tenth, 5 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (6) is more than 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (5), add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (5).

1 + 5 = 6, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 6 & the digit in the hundredths and thousandths place is dropped.

∴ 39.564 ≈ 39.6 (corrected to the nearest tenth)

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
