ella reports the hight of a tree in her school is 3.8 m and this measurment to the nearest hundredth of metre what is the least hight she might report?
To find the least height Ella might report, we need to determine the possible approximate values when rounded to the nearest hundredth of a meter.
When rounding to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place. If it is less than 5, we keep the hundredth unchanged. If it is 5 or greater, we round up the hundredth.
In this case, the given height is 3.8 meters. The digit in the thousandth place is 0, which is less than 5. Therefore, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, the height remains the same—3.8 meters.
Hence, the least height Ella might report is 3.8 meters.
