Question

What is .244 rounded to the nearest hundred equal to??

Answer 1

`\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{The hundredths place is the place two times to the right of the decimal}\\\\\text{In this case, the 1st 4 would be the hundredths place in .244}\\\\\text{We round up in the number to the right of it is 5 and up}\\\\\text{We keep it the same if the number to the right of it is 4 and under}\\\\\text{In .244, the right number (4) is less than 4, so we wouldn't round up,}\\\text{we would keep it as 4}\\\\\text{Therefore, your answer would be .24}\\\\`

`\boxed{\text{Answer: .24}}`
