You asked:

Round \(3.247\) to \(1\) decimal place.

MathBot Answer:

\(3.247\) rounded to 1 decimal place is: \[ 3.2 \]


Rounding a quantity to 1 decimal place is equivalent to rounding it to the nearest \(10^{-1}\). The two consecutive integer multiples of \(10^{-1}\) that \(3.247\) falls between are \(3.2\) and \(3.3\). \(3.247\) is closer to \(3.2\) than \(3.3\), so \(3.247\) rounded to 1 decimal place is: \(3.2\).
