To round to the nearest hundredth, we note the following:
• The hundredth digit is 2 digits after the decimal point.
,
• If the digit after the hundredth digit is ,less than 5,, we write it as it is.
,
• If the digit after the hundredth digit is ,greater than 5, we round up.
Therefore:
In 2.0093147
The hundredth digit = 0.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 9 (We round up)
Therefore, 2.0093147 = 2.01 (to the nearest Hundredth).
In -3.3333333
The hundredth digit = 3.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 3 (We do not round up)
Therefore, -3.3333333 = -3.33 (to the nearest Hundredth).
In 3.5493201
The hundredth digit = 4.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 9 (We round up)
Therefore, 3.5493201=3.55 (to the nearest Hundredth).
In -3.8901938
The hundredth digit = 9.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 0 (We do not round up)
Therefore, -3.8901938=-3.89 (to the nearest Hundredth).
In 3.2214359
The hundredth digit = 2.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 1 (We do not round up)
Therefore, 3.2214359=3.22 (to the nearest Hundredth).
In -3.0803020
The hundredth digit = 8.
The digit after the hundredth digit = 0 (We do not round up)
Therefore, -3.0803020=-3.08 (to the nearest Hundredth).
