How do you Divide Round to the nearest tenth 5.1 divided by 104?

Answer 1

0.049

Answer 2

Are you sure you mean 5.1÷104 and not 104÷5.1

If the first one is right, then perform the calculation (using a calculator)

5.1 ÷ 104 = 0.049038

Rounded to the nearest tenth, t is 0.0 (That might surprise you but here's why)

Look at the 2nd number after the decimal point. If it is 5 or more, then you round up the 1st number after the decimal point. e.g. 5.3698 would become 5.4 rounded to the nearest tenth because the 6 is more than 5.

If the 2nd number after the decimal point is under 5, then you would round down. e.g. 5.3487 would become 5.3 because 4 is less than 5.

Now returning to your question, the 2nd number after the decimal point is 4 which is less than 5 so you have to round down to 0.0
