Question

What is 34,623.226 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Answer: 34,623.23

Since we are rounding to the nearest hundredth we are going to look at the number 2 in the hundreth place. 34,623.226

As you can see the bold 2 is in the hundreth place. We underline it and put an arrow pointing at 6.

Any number that are 5 and up you add 1. Also known as round up.

Any number that are 4 and below you add 0. Also known as round down.

Let's take a look at the 6. We can tell that 6 is greater than 5.

6 > 5

Since 6 is greater than 5 we add 1 to the hundreth place. 2 becomes a 3. Any numbers behind 3 is 0 so you'll get 34,623.23 0. Since the 0 is last in the thousandth place we just remove it. So your answer will be 34,623.23.
