Now let us round off to nearest hundredth
Rounding off:
Rounding off to nearest hundredth means rounding off to two decimal points
The rounding off rules are:
- First look at the digit to immediate right of rounding off digit
- If that digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it.
- If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it.
Here 0.4666667 , the nearest hundred digit is "6"
The digit after "6" is greater than 5. Hence nearest hundredth digit "6" is incremented and becomes "7"
On rounding off we get 0.4666667 = 0.47
