Answer:

34.63

Explanation:

The 2 in 34.6285 marks the hundredths place

We can round by seeing what number is to the right of it which is 8.

Since 8 is larger than 5, we round up by 1.

Thus, 34.63 is our answer

The answer is:

34.63

Work/explanation:

Rounding to the nearest hundredth means rounding to 2 decimal places (DP).

So we have 2 decimal places, and the 3rd one matters too because it will determine the value of the 2nd DP.

The third DP is 8. Since it's greater than 5, then the value of the 2nd DP will be rounded up. I will add 1 to it.

Remember that we round up when the digit that we're rounding to is followed by another digit that is greater than or equal to 5.

So we round :

$\bf{34.6285 =\!=\!\!\! > 34.63}$
