Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nearest thousandth means we need to round the number to the third decimal place, which is 5 in this case. Since the digit after 5 is 3, we do not need to round up or change the 5, so the answer is 7.035. Options A and C are incorrect because they round to numbers that are not closest to the original value. Option B is incorrect because it does not round the number as required. When rounding to the nearest thousandth, we look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 3. Since this is less than 5, we do not round up the previous digit. Thus, the answer is 7.035.
