Question

In my town, gas prices are always listed to the thousandths place. Since the smallest coin we have is

the penny, we have to round them to the hundredths place. If the price of gas is $5.897, what will the
price be when we round it to the hundredths place?

Answer 1

It would be rounded to $5.90 per gallon. As if something is 5 or above you round up and if it is 4 or less you round down.
