Round 83.232 to the nearest
hundredth.
In order to round to the nearest
hundredth, we need to identify the hundredth place. We have a three in our hundredths
place. The next step in rounding is
looking at the digit to the right of the hundredth place. There’s a two in our thousandths
place. The two in the thousandths place is
less than or equal to four. Therefore, we round our number
down. The digit in the hundredth place
will stay the same and everything to the right of the hundredth place becomes a
zero.
83.23 stays the same and our two
becomes a zero. Finally, we can simplify by
dropping the zero. 83.232 rounded to the nearest
hundredth equals 83.23.
