Given:
8,462/82
Find the answer and round to the nearest hundredth.
Solution:
= 8,462/82
= 103.195122
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 hundredth, we must determine first where hundredth is is. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
The number places for whole numbers are an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on.
Hundredths is equal to 9 and after 9 we have the number 5, this means that 9 will be added by 1.
= 103.20
