Question

Round $6.4442 to the nearest cent.​

Answer 1

6.40

Explanation:

Find the number in the tenth place (the first 4) and look one place to the right for the rounding digit (the second 4).

Round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5

and round down if it is less than 5.

4 is less than five, therefore should be rounded down.

Answer 2

6.44

Explanation:

The nearest cent is the hundredths place (or two decimals)

6.4442 rounds to 6.44

The next number is less than 5 so we leave the hundredths place alone.
