Answer 2

152.925 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 152.93.

Solution:

To round to the nearest hundredth, first we have to locate the hundredths place. And the we have to follow the general rounding off rules given below,

General rounding off rules:

• First look at the digit to immediate right of rounding off digit

• If that digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it.

• If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it.

The given number is 152.925. Here, the digit to immediate right of rounding off digit is 5 so, we have to add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it

i.e, $2+1=3$ Therefore, the value will be $152.93$

As per the rules, rounding to the nearest 0.01 or  the Hundredths Place value will be 152.93.
