I just need help with rounding for making sure I round my answer correctly.
Can you round this
1.299678785 to the nearest hundredth
Thanks :)
Which digit is in the hundredths place?
Assuming you have by now figured it out, just make sure that you specify the needed accuracy. The answer is
1.30, not 1.3
Even though they are the same value, the 1.30 means that you have explicitly calculated that there are zero hundredths.
Of course! To round the number 1.299678785 to the nearest hundredth, follow these steps:
Step 1: Locate the hundredth place. In this case, it is the third digit after the decimal point, which is 9.
Step 2: Look at the digit immediately to the right of the hundredth place, which is 7.
Step 3: If the digit is 5 or greater, round up the hundredth digit. If the digit is less than 5, leave the hundredth digit as it is.
Step 4: In this case, the digit 7 is greater than 5, so we need to round up the hundredth digit, which is 9.
Step 5: Replace all the digits to the right of the hundredth place with zeros.
Therefore, rounding 1.299678785 to the nearest hundredth will give you the answer: 1.30.
Let me know if you need any further assistance!
Of course! To round a number to the nearest hundredth, you need to look at the digit that is two places to the right of the decimal point. In this case, the number is 1.299678785.
Step 1: Look at the digit in the hundredth place. In this case, it is 9.
Step 2: Since the digit to the right of 9 (in the thousandth place) is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the 9 to 10.
Step 3: Replace all the digits to the right of the hundredth place with zeroes.
Therefore, rounding 1.299678785 to the nearest hundredth gives us 1.30.
