Answer:
Both answers are 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
10^3 = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000
When you multiply 42.12 by 10^3, you are multiplying 42.12 by 1000.
When you multiply a number by a power of 10, such as 10, 100, 1000, etc., move the decimal point of the number to the right the same number of places as the number of zeros in the power of 10.
42.12 * 1000 = 42,120
To round a number, you look to the next place to the right of what you want to round to... for example, if you want to round to the nearest hundredth, you look to the thousandths place to see whether the hundredths place rounds up or down.
0.04 is already at the hundredths place so the thousandths place is zero... the answer to the nearest hundredth is 0.04.
For 0.2%, you have to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (move the decimal 2 places to the left).
0.2% = 0.002
So now to round to the nearest hundredth, we look to the thousandths place. The thousandths place has a 2 in it so the hundredths place rounds down. 0.2% total he nearest hundredth is 0.
