Answer:
0.48
Understanding place values:
The first 0 before the decimal point in 0.48 represents ones, the 4 after the decimal point represents tenths, the 8 represents hundredths.
Understanding rounding:
Numbers less than five (5) mean rounding down.
Numbers above five (5) mean rounding up by one.
Step-by-step:
Since the 4 in 0.479 is below five it stays, since 79 is above five we round it up to 80.
Side note:
0.480 = 0.48 (Zeros don't matter much)
Therefore it is 0.480.
Hope this helps!
