Question

Convert 17⁄8 to a decimal, rounded to the nearest hundredth. A. 2.13 B. 2.44 C. 1.78 D. 1.14

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

All you have to do is divide the numerator(top number) by the denominator(bottom number).

17 ÷ 8 = 2.125

Rounded to the nearest hundredth = 2 places after the decimal point.

After the 2 is a 5. If it's 5 or greater, you move it up by 1.

2 + 1 = 3

2.125 = 2.13

Your answer is A ⇒ 2.13

Hope this helps :)
