Question

Round 0.434 to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

0.43

In a decimal, the hundredth place is the second number to the right of the decimal, which in this case is the number 3. To round a number, you look at the number to the right, and if it is 4 or less, you keep the number the same, but drop the numbers after the hundredth place, and if it is 5 or more, you increase the digit by 1 and drop the rest of the numbers.

In this case, the number next to 3 is 4, so you would keep the number the same and drop the ones next to it, so the answer would be 0.43.

Answer 2
