Given the number:

6.16

Round to the nearest cent.

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 cent, this means that we need to round 1. Before 1 we have the number 6 which is greater than 5 therefore we will add 1 to 1.

= 6.16

= 6.2

Final answer:

= 6.2
