Rounding to the nearest hundredth.
Would 2.0518 be rounded to 2.0520?
Michael -- please go back and read what DrBob told you about the place values. The website I posted also has a good explanation.
Tip -- think dollars and cents -- like $9.53 -- when you need to round to the nearest hundredth.
whay is the difference between rounding decimals to the greatest to the nearest whole
Which of the following has the least value? .0518, 0.518, 0.5018, 0.5108
To round a number to the nearest hundredth, you need to look at the digit in the thousandth place (the fourth decimal place).
In this case, the number is 2.0518. The digit in the thousandth place is 8, which is greater than or equal to 5.
To round it to the nearest hundredth, you need to consider the digit in the hundredth place (the third decimal place).
The digit in the hundredth place is 1. Since it is less than 5, you do not need to round up the number.
Therefore, when rounding 2.0518 to the nearest hundredth, the rounded number is 2.0500, not 2.0520.
