Answer 1

To round a fraction to nearest hundredth:

simplify the fraction

divide it to get decimal

round to nearest hundredth (2 decimal places)

Our fraction reduced:

`(40)/(42)=(20)/(21)`

Dividing 20 by 21, we get the decimal:

`(20)/(21)=0.95238\ldots`

We want to round it to nearest hundredth (2 decimal place).

The third decimal is "2", so we don't round up the 2nd decimal.

So, the answer is:

0.95
