How do you round a decimal to the nearest hundredth?

Example: 0.096

The 9 is in the hundredths place and the 6 is in the thousandths place.

Since 6 is more than 5, you have to round the 9 up to the nearest number. The nearest is 10.

0.096 = 0.10

.096 rounds to .10. If the last significant digit ≥5, round up. If not, just delete the digit.

Thankyou guys!!!

You're welcome, Sephora.

To round a decimal to the nearest hundredth, you follow these steps:

1. Identify the hundredth place in the given decimal. In your example, the hundredth place is the second decimal place after the decimal point.
2. Look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is the next decimal place after the hundredth place. If this digit is 5 or greater, you round up the digit in the hundredth place. If it is 4 or less, you leave the digit in the hundredth place as it is.
3. If you need to round up, increase the digit in the hundredth place by 1. If you don't need to round up, keep the digit in the hundredth place the same.
4. Any digits after the hundredth place need to be dropped or rounded off to zero.

In your example, the digit in the thousandth place is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, you need to round up the digit in the hundredth place, which is 9. The decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth becomes 0.10.

So, to round the decimal 0.096 to the nearest hundredth, you would get 0.10.
