Nearest thousandth: No rounding needed, so the number remains 1.883. 
Nearest hundredth: The hundredth place is the second digit after the decimal point, which is 8. Since the next digit after 8 is 3, which is less than 5, the hundredth place stays the same, so the number is rounded to 1.88. 
Nearest tenth: The tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point, which is 8. Since the next digit after 8 is 3, which is less than 5, the tenths place stays the same, so the number is rounded to 1.9. To round to the nearest thousandth, we keep all three decimal places, so it remains 1.883.
To round to the nearest hundredth, we look at the thousandths place, which is 3, and since it is less than 5, we leave the hundredths place as is, giving us 1.88.
To round to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredths place, which is 8, and since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the tenths place to 2, giving us 1.9.
