Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

611 or 6÷11=0.545454545....

The hundredth position is two positions to the right of the decimal point. For this problem it is the 4:

0.545454545....

To round to the nearest hundredth you must look at the digit in the position immediately to the right of the digit in the hundredth place, which is the 5 in the thousandth place:

0.545454545....

If the digit to the right is greater than or equal to 5 you add 1 to the digit you are rounding to and make everything to the right 0.

If the digit to the right is less than 5 you add keep the digit you are rounding to the same and make everything to the right 0.

In this problem the digit to the right is a 5 so we add 1 to the digit we are rounding to and make everything to the right 0.

0.545454545....=0.550000000....=0.55
