How do you round 0.998 to 2 decimal places?

Answer 1

1.00

Answer 2

Oh, dude, rounding 0.998 to two decimal places is like a walk in the park. You just look at the third decimal place, which is 8, and since it's greater than 5, you add 1 to the second decimal place, making it 1. So, 0.998 becomes 1.00. Easy peasy, right?

Answer 3

To round 0.998 to 2 decimal places, you would look at the third decimal place, which is 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, you would round up the second decimal place by adding 1 to it. Therefore, 0.998 rounded to 2 decimal places would be 1.00.

Answer 4

Typically the rule is to round UP if the last number is greater than 5. So you begin with the first number on the far right. In 0.998, the number 8 is larger than the midpoint of 5 (midpoint of 1 to 10 is 5). So the 8 would be a 9. Secondly, you look at the 2 numbers at the far right, here 98. Again, 98 is above the midpoint of 50 (halfway between 1 and 100). So, you'd round up to the number 1.0 because the .998 all would be rounded UP.

As a comparison, let's say the number was 0.981. The farthest right number is 1, which is closer to zero. In this example, you cannot round the "81" up to 82... so you drop the 1. This results in a 2 decimal place answer of 0.98.
