Question

0.661 rounded to nearest hundretg

Answer 1

Since you are doing decimals, know that you are mirroring what you would do on the left side

Your decimal number: .661

The first 6, which is .6 is the tenths place

The second 6, which is .06 is the hundredths place

1 which is .001 is the thousands place

The farther you go left, the bigger the digit number value

So when rounding up, you look at the digit after the number you are rounding

So what is after the hundredths place? Its the thousandths place which is 1

Is 61 closer to 60 or 70? Since 1 is smaller than the halfway point which is 5, its closer to 60

Answer: .661 rounded to the nearest hundredths is .660 or just simply written as .66
