Question

62.686 rounded to nearest hundredth

Answer 1

62.686 is 62.7 rounded to the nearest hundredth 

Answer 2

62.69

Explanation:

We are asked to round 62.686 to nearest hundredth.

We know that rounding to nearest hundredth means rounding to two digits after decimal.

Let us recall rounding rules.

We know that when the next digit to rounded digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; then we keep the same digit.

When the next digit to rounded digit is 5 or more than 5; then we round up our answer by one digit.

We can see that thousandths digit is 6, which is greater than 5, so we will round up to nearest hundredths as:

`62.686\approx 62.69`

Therefore, our required number would be 62.69.
