Why does 8.251 round to 8.3?
-
It rounds off to 8.3 because if you're rounding to the tenth place, (as you have shown in your question), you just have to follow these steps.
The thousandth place digit is 1, and the hundredth place digit is 5. If you round the hundredth place, then it's 5.
The rule of rounding states that 5 or above rounds to the next digit up so 8.25 rounds to 8.3.
I hope this made sense and I hope I helped. ^^
