Answer:

First, we need to divide in order to convert a fraction to a decimal number:

17 ÷ 8 = 2.12500

now we need to round to the nearest hundredth: 2.12500 = 2.13 cuz where the 2 is bolded at in 2.12500 it's getting round-up...

So the answer is A. 2.13

Explanation:

hope this helps...

have a good day...

Hey there! :)

All you have to do is divide the numerator(top number) by the denominator(bottom number).

17 ÷ 8 = 2.125

Rounded to the nearest hundredth = 2 places after the decimal point.

After the 2 is a 5. If it's 5 or greater, you move it up by 1.

2 + 1 = 3

2.125 = 2.13

Your answer is A ⇒ 2.13

Hope this helps :)
