A grocery store scale is used to weigh a bag of vegetables. The scale
shows “13.456 oz”. What is this value rounded to the nearest tenth
of an ounce?
A) 13.4 oz
B) 13.5 oz (Correct Answer)
C) 13.45 oz
Explanation:
The tenths place is the decimal place immediately to the right of the decimal point. To round to the nearest tenth, use the hundredths digit.
In this number, the hundredths digit is a 5. Therefore, the tenths digit will round up to a 5. The rounded number is 13.5 oz.
