Asked by Collin

Answer (3)

Round 3.047 to the nearest 100th
To visually illustrate the rounding off of the values as said to the nearest hundredths. We can first disband the digit to simpler values using the expanded form:
1. 3 = ones
2. 0. 04 = hundredths
3. 0. 007 = thousandths
Since we have located the hundredths in 0.04 we can next round off it according to its nearest value which is 0.007.
The number becomes 3.05.

The next larger hundredth is 3.05 . The next smaller hundredth is 3.04 .
3.047 is closer to 3.05 than it is to 3.04, so the nearest hundredth is 3.05 .

To round 3.047 to the nearest hundredth, the digit in the hundredths place is 4 and the thousandths place is 7. Since 7 is greater than 5, we round 4 up to 5. Thus, 3.047 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 3.05.
