Final answer:

To divide 62.85 by 10^2, move the decimal point two places to the left and round the answer to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide 62.85 by 10^2 (which is 100), we can move the decimal point two places to the left. This gives us 0.6285. However, we need to round the answer to the nearest thousandth. Since the digit in the thousandths place is 8, which is greater than 5, we round up the previous digit. Therefore, the rounded answer is 0.629.
