What is the value of 3 14 rounded to the nearest fourth?

Answer 1

3.14 lies between 3 and 3.25

3.14 - 3 = 0.14

3.25 - 3.14 = 0.11

The second difference is smaller so 3.25 is the nearest fourth.

Alternative method:

First mulitply by 4: 4*3.14 = 12.56

12.56 rounded to the nearest whole number is 13.

Now divide by 4: So the nearest fourth is 13/4 = 3.25
