Question

45.348 to two decimal places

Answer 1

Answer:

45.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 3 numbers to the right of the decimal point, this number has 3 decimal places. This question wants you to alter the number so that it has only 2 numbers to the right of the decimal. You can't just totally ignore the numbers you want to eliminate, so rounding rules need to be applied.

First, identify the number in the second decimal place position. If the number to the right of this position (the third decimal position) is in the range of 5 - 9, you must add 1 to the second decimal place value. Then, you can drop the numbers after the second decimal place. If the number to the right is 0 - 4, you can simply drop it the value and all the other values to the right.

In this case, the second decimal place has a value of 4. The number to the right is 8. Because 8 is within the 5 - 9 range, add 1 to 4 to get a new decimal value of 5. Finally, drop all the numbers to the right of the new second decimal place value. This leaves you with your answer: 45.35.

Answer 2

45.35 is your answer once you round it
