Question

118.380 rounded to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Hi there!

To round we need to know our decimal places


118.380 <--- this is the thousandths place
       | ^--- this is the hundredths place
       ^--- and this is the tenths place

To round to the nearest hundredths, we need to know the thousandths digit. If the thousandths digit is less than 5, then the hundredths digit stay the same. But if the thousandths digit is 5 or more, then the hundredths digit goes up one.

In this case, the hundredths digit stays the same because the thousandths digit is 0. So your answer is 118.38

Answer 2

You look at the third digit and use that to decide whether to roundup. As it is zero, there is no effect, so it is 118.38 when rounded.

Hope this helps!! ;))
Have a grat day!! <3
