Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to round the decimal to the ten-thousandth place, which is the fourth digit after the decimal point. The digit in the fourth place is 3, which is less than 5. Therefore, we keep the digit in the fourth place as it is and drop all the digits after it. Hence, the rounded decimal is 53.1234. To round to the ten-thousandth place, we look at the digit in the fifth place after the decimal point, which is 3. Since it is less than 5, we do not round up the digit in the fourth place. Therefore, the answer is 53.1234.
