3579 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 6.36, because the third decimal place is 7, which requires rounding up the second decimal place.

To round 6.3579 to the nearest hundredth, we must look at the third decimal place (which is in the thousandths position). If it's 5 or more, we round the second decimal place (which is in the hundredths position) up. If it's less than 5, we leave the second decimal place as it is.

Since the third decimal place is 7, which is greater than 5, we round the number up in the hundredths place. Therefore, 6.3579 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 6.36.
