How do you round the number 242.1567 hundredth place?

Answer 1

First of all, what is the hundredth place?

The hundredth place is two place values to the right of the decimal place.

so 0.00...

In the number that is given, 242.1567... the hundredth place is where the number 5 is. In that case, to round a number to the hundredth place means to cut the decimal short until you reach the 2nd place value. Since the number beside the 5 is going to be rounded off (because we're rounding to the hundredth place), I ask... do we round up or round down with 6? We round UP!

In that case, the rounded number is 242.16 .
