0.561 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.56. Remember the 10th and 100th places in decimals, 10th being the place of the 5, and 100th being the place of the 6. When rounding, you only raise it if the number you are given is higher than 5. Because it's just a 1, in this case you can just take it off.
