Given the value:
382.993
Round to the nearest hundredth.
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.
Since we are asked to round to the nearest hundredths, we must determine first where hundredths is. The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on.
For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
9 is located in the hundredths place and before 9 we have 3, which is less than 5 therefore, we will retain 9 as it is.
= 382.99
Final answer:
= 382.99
