To round off the given value of 38.47 to the nearest tenths if that is what is asked in the given question.
We can firstly illustrate the event by disbanding the number into its expanded form. Hence, we shall have;
1. 30 = tens
2. 8 = ones
3. 0. 40 = tenths
4. 0. 07 = hundredths
And as follows the value becomes 38.5. Take note of the 5-9 rounding rules in numbers.
To round 38.47 to one decimal place, we look at the hundredths digit, which is 7. Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the tenths digit (4) to 5. Thus, the rounded value is 38.5.
