Question

When rounding 72.631 to the hundredths place, Jack rounded to 72.64 and Tamar rounded to 72.63. Who is correct? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER

Answer 1

Tamar

Explanation:

Since we're rounding to the hundredths place, we need to see if the thousandths place is greater or equal to 5. Since it is less than 5, we round down to 72.63.

Answer 2

Answer: Tamar

Explanation:

Since the number before the 3 is a 1, the number will stay the same and not be rounded up. If the number was 5 or above, it would be rounded up to a 4.
