What is 0.986 to 2 decimal places?

Answer 1

In this question you need to round 0.986 to two decimal points. This means when you are finished you need two digits to the right of the decimal point. Because there is a third decimal point you need to round.

When rounding if the digit tot he right of the place you are rounding is 5 or greater you would round up, otherwise you round down.

In this case you are rounding the '8', so look to the right and you see a '6'. Using the previous rounding process make the check: Is 6 >= 5? Yes it is! Therefore you would round the '8' up to a '9'.

This results in your answer to be 0.99
