 the answer is 5.6 

Answer 2

Answer:

The 5.63 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided weight 5.63

We need to round it to the nearest tenth.

The rule for rounding a number is:

If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 then no need to change the rounding digit and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.

If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then rounding digit rounds up by one number  and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.

To rounding this number to the nearest tenth first check the number right side of rounding digit, i.e check the hundredth number is less than 5 or more.

The next step is: The hundredth number is 3, which is less than 5. So no need to change the rounding digit and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.

Thus, the 5.63 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.6
