14.955
the 1 in this case is in the TENS place
the 4 is in the ONES place
the 9 is in the TENTHS place
the first 5 is in the HUNDREDTHS place
and the second 5 is in the THOUSANDTHS place
so to round 14.955 to the nearest hundredth you must stop it at the hundredths place (where the first 5 is) but since you are rounding you must look at the number behind it (the second 5 in the thousandths place) to see if you will remain at .95 or round up to .96 since the number behind the hundredths place is a 5 we will then round the whole number up to 14.96 because when the number in the place after the one you are rounding to is 5 or more then you round up if 4 or less u round back down

Answer:

14.955 to the nearest hundredth is 14.96

Explanation:

The hundredths place in this scenario is 5. If you round it up, you get 10, which means that it would turn into 6 since it comes after 5. In conclusion, the answer is 14.96.
