Edward wants to determine which skateboarder won a race. The actual time taken by four skateboarders to skate the same distance is shown below:

Skateboarder A B C D

Time (in seconds) 4.28 4.24 4.26 4.25

If the stopwatch can measure to the nearest tenth of a second, which skateboarder will show as having a different time from the others?

The time, which will show different time from others when rounded to the nearest tenth of a second, is 4.24. The tenths place of 4.24 is below 5 which will result to 4.2. While the tenths place of 4.28, 4,26, and 4.25 when rounded to nearest tenth of a second will result to 4.3.
