To round the number

2.8962 to the nearest hundredth

First check the digit whose place value is hundredth

The digit is 9

You will either round it up or down depending on the next digit immediately after it which is called the decider

If the decider is from 0-4 then we round the number down

If the decider is from 5 -9 then we round the number up

The decider is 6 so we are rounding the number up

2.8962 ≈ 2.90 to the nearest hundredth

When the 9 increases to ten, we can't write 10 down so we write 0 and add 1 to 8 which makes it 9
