Unit = nearest 1 (in the whole numbers) So, 8.171717 rounded to the unit is $8$. Tenths place = to the nearest 10 (in the decimals) So, 8.171717 rounded to the tenth place is $8.2$ Hundredths place = to the nearest 100 (in the decimals) So, 8.171717 rounded to the hundredths place is $8.17$ Thousandths place = to the nearest 1000 (in the decimals) So, 8.171717 rounded to the thousandths place is $8.172$
