Given the number:
7.8652
Round to 2 decimal places.
Solution:
2 decimals places means to the nearest hundredths.
Take note that when rounding up numbers, if the number is equal to or greater than 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, however if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will stay the same. As we can see in the equation, if we round up to 2 decimal places, we'll have the number 6, and before that is 5, meaning that we will add 1 to the succeeding number 6 making it 7.
