Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original measurement is3.124 pounds. . We need to round this measurement to the nearest tenth of a pound.

STEP 2

To round a number to the nearest tenth, we need to look at the digit in the hundredths place. If this digit is5 or more, we round up. If it is less than5, we round down.

STEP 3

In our case, the hundredths digit is2, which is less than5. Therefore, we round down.

STEP 4

Rounding down means that the tenths digit stays the same, and all digits to the right of it are dropped.
