Question

Write the square root of 158 as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The square root of 158 is:

$\sqrt[]{158}=12.569$

We need to round this number to the nearest tenth, which means that we will only have one decimal place.

Since the number after the decimal point is: 569

We need to round up to 600, so the final answer will be:

$12.600=12.6$
