Question

What is 34,623.226 rounded to the nearest hundredth? (2 points) a 34,623 b 34,623.2 c 34,623.22 d 34,623.23

Answer 1

(d.) 34,623.23

Explanation:

• When rounding a number to the nearest hundredth, we look at the number in the thousandths place (i.e., 6), which is 3 units to the right of the decimal.
• When the thousandths value is 4 or less, we keep the same value in the hundredths place.
• When the thousandths value is 5 or more, we add 1 to the value in the hundredths.

Since 6 (the value in the hundredths place) is higher than 5, we add 1 to the 2 in the hundredths place.

Thus, 34,623.226 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 34,623.23.
