Given the number:
0.089
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 hundredth, we must determine first where the nearest hundredth is. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on. For whole numbers, 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.
In the given number, the nearest hundredth is 8, and before 8 we have 9, which is greater than 5 therefore the value of 8 will be increased by 1.
= 0.09
Final answer: 0 .09
