Answer 2

Answer:

5.19

Step-by-step explanation:

To round to the nearest hundredth, we look to the place to the right of this, the thousandths place.  There is a 3 in this place.

If the digit in the thousandths place is 5 or above, we increase the digit in the tenths place.  If the digit in the thousandths place is below 5, we leave the digit in the tenths place.  We then "cut off" the remaining digits.

Since the thousandths digit is 3, we leave the digit in the tenths place a 9; this makes the number

5.19.
