Question 1 Report

Convert 3.1415926 to 5 decimal places
Answer Details
To convert a number to a specific number of decimal places, we need to look at the digit in the next decimal place and round the original number accordingly. In this case, the digit in the sixth decimal place is 2, which is less than 5. Therefore, we do not need to round up the fifth decimal place, which is 9. Thus, the correct answer is 3.14159, which is the same as the original number but rounded to 5 decimal places.
