To round each number to the thousandths place: - **0.\(\overline{6}\)**: The digit in the thousandths place is 6. Since the next digit is also 6 (which is ≥5), we round up the thousandths digit to 7. So, \(0.\overline{6}\) rounded to the thousandths place is **0.667**. - **5.3\(\overline{81}\)**: The digit in the thousandths place is 1, and the next digit is 8 (≥5). We round up the thousandths digit to 2. Therefore, \(5.3\overline{81}\) rounded to the thousandths place is **5.382**.

Solución

The thousandths place is the third digit after the decimal point. We need to look at the digit immediately to the right (the ten-thousandths place) to decide whether to round up. **For \( 0.\overline{6} \):** - Writing out a few digits: \( 0.6666\ldots \) - The digit in the thousandths place is \(6\). - The next digit (ten-thousandths) is also \(6\) (which is \(\geq 5\)), so we round up the thousandths digit. - Rounding \(6\) up gives \(7\). Thus, \( 0.\overline{6} \) rounded to the thousandths place is \( \boxed{0.667} \). **For \( 5.3\overline{81} \):** - Write out the decimal: \( 5.381818\ldots \) - The digits are: \(5.3\) (tenths), \(8\) (hundredths), \(1\) (thousandths), followed by \(8\) (ten-thousandths). - The digit in the thousandths place is \(1\), and the next digit is \(8\) (which is \(\geq 5\)), so we round up \(1\) to \(2\). Hence, \( 5.3\overline{81} \) rounded to the thousandths place is \( \boxed{5.382} \).

The Deep Dive

To round \(0.\overline{6}\) to the thousandths place, first recognize that \(0.\overline{6}\) is equivalent to \(0.666...\). When rounding, we look at the fourth decimal (which is also a 6) to determine if we round up or down. Since it is 5 or greater, we round up the third decimal to 7. Therefore, \(0.\overline{6}\) rounded to the thousandths place is \(0.667\). For \(5.3\overline{81}\), which represents \(5.381818...\), we’ll focus on the first three digits after the decimal. The digit in the thousandths place is 1, and the next digit (in the ten-thousandths place) is 8. Since 8 is greater than 5, we round the 1 up to 2. So, \(5.3\overline{81}\) rounded to the thousandths place becomes \(5.382\).
