Answer:
12.25
x < 12.35
Explanation:
5 is the cut off when rounding.
If a number to the right is greater than or equal 5, you round up.
If it's less than 5, you drop the number.
So 12.25 would be rounded up to 12.3
12.34 would be rounded to 12.3
How do you get the 12.25?
Subtract .05 from 12.3
How do you get 12.35?
Add .05 to 12.3.
The number in the hundredths place needs to be less than 5 to round down. That's why you use less than symbol.
