Answer:

0.598

Explanation:

Original list of numbers:

0.317, 0.764, 0.562, 0.64, 0.598, 0.602, 0.657, 0.547

Look at each sentence and eliminate the appropriate numbers.

"I am a value between 0.25 and 0.75."

Eliminate 0.764

New list of numbers: 0.317, 0.562, 0.64, 0.598, 0.602, 0.657, 0.547

"I have 3 decimal places."

Eliminate: 0.64

New list of numbers: 0.317, 0.562, 0.598, 0.602, 0.657, 0.547

"My nearest tenth is 0.6."

Eliminate: 0.317, 0.657, 0.547

New list of numbers: 0.562, 0.598, 0.602

"When you round me to the nearest hundredth (2 places), I round up."

Eliminate: 0.562, 0.602

Answer: 0.598
