The hundredths is the second place to the right, and following the rule of rounding, the number behind the 4 which is the hundredths place is greater than 5 which makes the 4 become a 5 so the answer is 12.15

The nearest hundred is the 4. The next number is a 6, so you round up. Thank goodness that 6 is not a 5. Then you have to listen to whatever your instructor tells you about rounding when the next number is a 5.

However if the next number is 6 or 7 or 8 or 9, then you round up. It the next number is a 1,2,3,4 then you don't do anything.

12.146 round to 12.15

12.145 depends on what you are told about 5

12.142 do nothing the answer to the nearest hundredth is 12.14
