Question

The number 6.0448, rounded to 2 decimal places, becomes _______.

1) 6.04
2) 6.05
3) 6.06
4) 6.07

Answer 1

The number 6.0448 rounded to two decimal places is 6.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 6.0448, when rounded to two decimal places, becomes 6.05. This is determined by looking at the third decimal place, which is a 4. Since this number is less than 5, it does not affect the second decimal place, and the number remains 6.04.

However, the fourth decimal place is an 8, and since this is larger than 5, it causes the second decimal place to increase by one. Therefore, we round up from 6.04 to 6.05.
