Question

QUESTION 24·1 POINTRound 0.46835 to the nearest hundredth.Provide your answer below:

Answer 1

To round the decimal number to the nearest hundredth we need to remember certain rules. The hundredth (0.01) place value in a decimal number is the second number which comes first after the decimal point. For this, we need to observe the thousandth number (the number which comes third after the decimal point). If this number is greater than or equal to 5, we add 1 to the hundredth value. If it is less than 5, we leave the hundredth place value as it is, and remove all the numbers present after this number.

`0.46835`
`0.46835\approx0.47(nearest\text{ 0.01\rparen}`

The final answer

`0.47`
