Given:
40.4 Kg
Round to the nearest hundredths.
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 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.
Hundredths is located 2 places after the decimal point, in our case we only have 1 place, which is only the tenths place value, therefore we cannot round to the hundredths place, and retain the number as it is.
= 40.4 kg
Final answer:
= 40.4 kg
