Question

How do you Round 245.456 to the nearest hundredth ?

Answer 1

1. Look at the third number after the decimal place - if it is 5 or above round up, and if it’s 4 or below round down
2. 6 is above 5 so we round up to 245.46
3. Answer = 245.46

TIP: Rounding to the nearest hundredth is the same as rounding to two decimal places

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

245.46

Explanation:

the hundredth point is represented by the "5" after the decimal, it goes like this

hundred, ten, one . tenth, hundredth, thousandth

2 4 5 . 4 5 6

so when you find the point you need to round to, if the number after it, is greater than five, the "hundredth" place goes up one

I hope this makes sense
