Question

19/23 as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

The answer rounded to the nearest hundredth here is 0.83.

Answer 2

19/23 ≈ 0.826086956521739

Rounding that to the nearest hundredth means you look at the 6 to the right of the hundredth place

0.826086956521739

Since 6 is closer to 10 than 0, you round the 2 up to 3.

0.83

Another way to describe that is that 26 (taking both the 2 and 6 into account) is closer to 30 than it is to 20.

0.826 is closer to 0.830 than 0.820
