Answer:
The two required numbers are 15.508 and 15.49
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided number 15.5
We need to round the number to nearest tenth.
Rule of rounding a number.
If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 then no need to change the rounding digit and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.
If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then rounding digit rounds up by one number and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.
In order to round nearest tenth we will consider the number at hundredths place.
Now consider the provided numbers.
Consider the number 15.04, Here 4 is at hundredths place which is less than 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.0
Consider the number 15.55, Here 5 is at hundredths place which is equal to 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.6
Consider the number 15.508, Here 0 is at hundredths place which is less than 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.5
Consider the number 15.445, Here 4 is at hundredths place which is less than 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.4
Consider the number 15.0, Here 0 is at hundredths place which is less than 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.0
Consider the number 15.49, Here 9 is at hundredths place which is greater than 5, so the round off to nearest tenths of this number is 15.5
Hence, the two required numbers are 15.508 and 15.49
