Because the word 'hundredths' means a single whole amount has been subdivided into 100 pieces. 1 = 100 hundredths
1 and 3/100 is 1.03 which is less than 2.335
No, 0.05 is less than 1, and even smaller than 4.213
No, fifty hundredths equals one half. fifty hundredths = 50/100 = 1x50/2x50 = 1/2
When rounding 0.531 to the nearest hundredths, you look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 1. Since 1 is less than 5, you do not round up. Therefore, 0.531 rounded to the nearest hundredths is 0.53.
4.071 rounded to the nearest hundredths is 4.07. This is because the digit in the thousandths place (1) is less than 5, so we do not round up the digit in the hundredths place (7).
.75< 1 .75 is less than 1 seventy five hundredths is less than one
No because 1/000 is less than 1/100
1
1 and 3/100 is 1.03 which is less than 2.335
1 tenth, which is equal to 0.1, is less than 4.16 (four and sixteen hundredths).
No, 0.05 is less than 1, and even smaller than 4.213
No, fifty hundredths equals one half. fifty hundredths = 50/100 = 1x50/2x50 = 1/2
To compare such numbers, if the whole part is the same, you need to look at the FIRST decimal digit. In this case, 0 is less than 1. If the first digits are the same, you compare the SECOND decimal digit; if those are the same, you compare the THIRD decimal digit, etc.
48.001 to the hundredths is 48.00. When rounding to the hundredths place, we look at the digit in the thousandths place (in this case, the digit 1). Since 1 is less than 5, we do not round up the hundredths place digit. Therefore, 48.001 rounded to the hundredths is 48.00.
When rounding 0.531 to the nearest hundredths, you look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 1. Since 1 is less than 5, you do not round up. Therefore, 0.531 rounded to the nearest hundredths is 0.53.
no Explanation: 7/12 is less than 1. 625/100 is more than 1.
No. 5.1 is 5 and "1 tenth and a bit less than 1 tenth", but 5.2 is 5 and "2 tenths". "2 tenths" is greater than "1 tenth and a bit less than 1 tenth". Thus 5.19 < 5.2 Alternatively, with 5.2 there are no hundredths, so you can put a zero in the (empty) hundredths column and not change its value: 5.2 = 5.20 Now it is easy to see 5.19 has 19 hundredths and 5.2 = 5.20 has 20 hundredths and 19 < 20, so 5.19 < 5.20 = 5.2
