To round the number 1022.0982 to three decimal places, we first identify the third decimal place, which is the digit ‘8’ in this case. Next, we look at the digit immediately following it, which is ‘2’. Since ‘2’ is less than 5, we do not round up the ‘8’. Therefore, we keep the ‘8’ as it is.
Thus, the value of 1022.0982 correct to three decimal places is 1022.098.
