number?
Your answer
This is a required question

Answer 1

897.23

Explanation:

The decimal places start at the tenths:

00.tenths, hundredths, thousandths

So you would need to end up with only two numbers after the decimal.

To round, if a number is 4 or less, leave the next number as it is.

Ex: 2.32 → 2.3 Rounding to the tenths

78.614 → 78.6 Rounding to the tenths

If the number is 5 or higher, round up one number

EX: 37.76 → 37.8 Rounding to the tenths

6.389 → 6.4 Rounding to the tenths

Our number, 897.234, needs to be rounded to the hundredths place, so use the number to its right to determine the rounded value. The number 4 means that the hundredths place will remain the same, so the new value is:

897.23
