Answer:
13.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Place value can be defined as the numerical value representing a digit owing to its position in a number. Some examples of the various place values used in representing each digit are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, unit, tens, hundreds, thousands etc.
For the number 13.045;
- The place value of 1 is tens.
- The place value of 3 is units.
- The place value of 0 is tenths.
- The place value of 4 is hundredths.
- The place value of 5 is thousandths.
Therefore, 13.045 to the nearest tenth is equal to 13.0.
NB: This is because the value of the hundredth term (4) is less than 5 and as such cannot be rounded up.
