To get the answer in meters PER second, we need to divide the number of meters by number of seconds.

The answer would be in PER second.

So,

3.325/28 = 0.11875

Rounding to nearest hundredth basically means to round to 2 decimal places.

Now, we look at the 3rd digit after decimal.

If that's 5 or more, we notch up the 2nd digit by 1.

If that's less than 5, we notch it down by 1.

Third digit is 8, so we notch up the 2nd digit (1) by 1 , so we have 1 becomes 2.

The rounding becomes:

0.12
