Answer:
0.706
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 12/17 to decimal by dividing the numerator by denominator.
12 ÷ 17 = 0.70588.......
The nearest thousandth is the third decimal place.
If we round up: 0.706
If we round down: 0.705
Because the fourth digit is "8", we round up.
If the digit after the one you want to round to is 5 or greater, then you round up. If the digit after is 4 or less, round down..
12 ÷ 17 = 0.70588....... ≈ 0.706
