Answer 1

To convert the fraction (9)/(16) to a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, divide 9 by 16 using long division and round the result to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the fraction (9)/(16) to a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, you can divide 9 by 16 using long division. The quotient is 0.5625. Since we want to round to the nearest hundredth, the second decimal place, we look at the next decimal place which is 5. If the next decimal place is 5 or greater, we round up, otherwise, we round down. Since 5 is greater than 5, we round up the second decimal place. Therefore, the decimal equivalent of (9)/(16) rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.57.
