To determine if 0.551 rounds to 0.6 when rounded to the nearest hundredth, you need to look at the thousandth place, which is the digit immediately to the right of the hundredth place.
To round to the nearest hundredth:
1. Identify the hundredth place. In this case, the hundredth place is the 5 in 0.551.
2. Look at the digit in the thousandth place. In this case, the thousandth place is 1.
3. If the digit in the thousandth place is less than 5, then the number remains the same. If it is 5 or greater, the number is rounded up.
4. Since the digit in the thousandth place is 1, which is less than 5, the number remains the same.
Therefore, when rounding 0.551 to the nearest hundredth, it remains as 0.55, not 0.6.
