First, the whole part,

15/9=1 and 6/9

So the form will be 1.<something>

Next the decimal part,

6/9=2/3=0.6666...

So the number is 1.66666... but we need to round to the nearest hundredth.

If we write the number up until hundredth we would get,

1.66[66666...] but the next decimal is 6 which is more than 5 so we add 1 to the hundredth and get 1.67.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

after the decimal we have the

tens

hundreths

thousanths

(usually math doesn't ask you to go farther than the thousanths place)

because 15/9 is 1.66666, you will go to the hundreths place and round that six. Six is one more than five so it gets rounded up. That changes the decimal to 1.67. You do not change it to 1.7, because it asked you to round to the nearest hundred not the nearest tens
