What is 37.856 to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

37.856 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 37.86. The first place (first number) to the right of the decimal (period, dot) is the tenths place, the second number is the hundredths place, the third is the thousandths, etc. To round to the hundredths place you look at the number on the right of the second number. If this number is five or greater you add 1 to the hundredths number and remove the rest of the numbers further to the right. If its less than five you simply remove all numbers to the right of the second number.
