2. Which number has been rounded to 1 decimal place? (0.7, 9.9)
3. Which number has been rounded to the nearest thousand? (25000)
4. Which number has been rounded to 2 decimal places? (1.32, 0.80)
5. If counting by hundreds, the number after the green number would be. (12400)
6. Which number has 4 decimal places? (17.1345)
7. In the blue number, which digit is in the tenths place value? (7)
8. Round the pink number to the nearest hundredth. (17.13)
9. Which number rounded to the nearest unit would equal 10? (9.9)
