How do you round 8.562 to two decimal places?

Answer 1

8.562

Inspect the 3rd decimal place . In this case it is '2'.

The rule is for 'n' decimal places , inspect the 'n+1' decimal place. If the 'n+1' decimal place is between 0 & 4 , then leave the 2nd decimal unchanged. If it is between 5 & 9 then add '1' to the second decimal place.

Since in this case the third decimaal is '2' ( between 0 & 4), then leave the 2nd decimal place unchanged. at '6'.

Hence

8.452 to 2 d.p. is 8.56 .

Answer 2
