Question

What is 1872.072 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Answer: 1872.07

Step-by-step explanation: 7 is in hundredth place so we take the number that comes after it and round up or down since it 2 we round down to 0 then add it to 7.

7+0= 7 so 7 stays the same (because numbers from 1-4 round to zero and numbers from 5/9 round to 1)

Answer 2

1872.07

Explanation:

The hundredth place is the second digit after the decimal (.).

The 1872 will always be the same since it is hundredth and not something else like tens or hundreds.

1872....

So since the hundredth place is the second digit after the decimal, you can find that the second digit is 7.

4 or less don't round up, 5 or more round up

Since the next digit is 2, it is 4 or less, so don't round up, so you cut off the 2, hence the 1872.07
