Question

What is the square root of 125.3 rounded to the nearest hundredth ?

Answer 1

11.19

Explanation:

`√(125.3) = 11.19374\\`

The hundreths place is the second digit to the right of the decimal point.

Since the number in the thousandths place is less than 5, the number in the hundreths place will remain as 9.

If the digit in the thousandths place had been 5 or greater, the answer would have been 11.20, as you would round the 9 up, consequently rounding the tenths place as well.
