Question

Write 50/22 as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

2.27
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to divide 50 by 22 in a calculator. We write:
59=2.272727
Now, we have if written as a decimal. If we want to round to the nearest hundredth, we need to express the number with just two decimal digits.
We write:
50 = 2.27
22
The digit 7 represents the hundredth. To decide if the digit 7 remains the same or we round it to 8, we need to look to the digit at the right of it.
If that digit is lower than "5" we write 2.27 but if that digit is "5" or greater we round the number to 2.28
The digit at the right of "7" is 2 (we need to look
at (1)) = 2 < 5
= We finally write
24 = 2.27
