Answer:

0.85 kilograms

Explanation:

The nearest hundredth can be defined as a place value used when rounding up numbers after the decimal.

The nearest hundredth can also mean rounding up to 2 decimal places.

We are asked to round up 0.845 to the nearest hundredth

The nearest hundredth is the second number after the decimal = 4

The third number after the decimal = 5, hence we add 1 to 4 , making it 5.

Hence:

0.845 kilograms to the nearest hundredth = 0.85 kilograms
