What is 1.3 times 3.04 times 5.46 to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Do the calculation using all digits and round the final answer:

1.3 × 3.04 × 5.46

= (1.3 × 3.04) × 5.46

= 3.952 × 5.46

= 21.57792

Use the digit following the hundredths digit as the deciding digit; the hundredth digit is the second digit after the decimal point so the deciding digit is the third: the deciding digit is 7 which is greater than or equal to 5, so round up:

21.57792 → 21.58 to the nearest hundredth.
