What is 15.072 rounded two decimal places?

Answer 1

Do you know what a decimal place is? You need to know the theory first. The decimal point is represented by a full stop between 5 and 0 in this number.

Rounding is the practise of simplifying numbers to their nearest common number (specified in the question, to the nearest 10/100 etc...).

In this example the second decimal place is the 7, you need to simplify to this point by rounding its neighbours to the right to their nearest 10... I.E. the 2 rounds to 0. <5 rounds to 0, > or equal to 5 rounds to 10.

Your answer is 15.07.
