Can you show me how to round 3.472 and 15.197 to the nearest hundredths. Thanks.
In the first, the seven is in the hundreths, and the 2 is closer to zero, so rounded off it is..
3.47
the second, the last 7 in the thousandths place rounded is the next hundrethth, but you are already at 19 hundredths, so it becomes..
15.20
Thank you, just to be sure I'm doing it correctly, 48.764 ---rounding to the nearest hundredth is 48.76 ? And 0.809 to the nearest hundredth is 0.81 ?
To round a number to the nearest hundredths, you need to look at the digit in the thousandths place (the third digit after the decimal point). Here's how to round 3.472 and 15.197 to the nearest hundredths:
1. 3.472:
- Look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 2.
- Since 2 is less than 5, you leave the hundredths digit (7) unchanged.
- The rounded number to the nearest hundredths is 3.47.
2. 15.197:
- Look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 9.
- Since 9 is greater than or equal to 5, you round up the hundredths digit (7) by incrementing it by 1.
- The rounded number to the nearest hundredths is 15.20.
So, rounding 3.472 to the nearest hundredths gives 3.47, and rounding 15.197 gives 15.20.
