Answer:

0.23

Explanation:

The first spot to the right of the decimal is the tenths place. Ex. .0

The second spot to the right of the decimal is the hundredths place. Ex. .00

The third spot to the right of the decimal is the thousandths place. Ex. .000

Since you are trying to round to the nearest hundredth you look at the thousandths place. If it is 5 or higher you round up. If it is under 5 you round down.

0.232

Since the 2 is the thousandths place the hundredths stays the same and you drop the thousandths place.

0.23
