In engineering, the precision of a quantity is implicitly told in the

number of digits presented. In the number 254.34, the precision

is of six digits.

If by one hundredth it is meant 1/100 of the unit then the number

in question is already given to the nearest hundredth. No more

rounding is necessary.

If the rounding is going to be down to the nearest hundred, then the number

is written as 3 x 10^2. This means the quantity has dropped down to a one order

magnitude level. Precision of the number is just of one digit.

What is 16.107 rounded to nearest hundredth?

Remember the column names. '1' ; Tens '6' ; Units Decimal point '1' ; Tenths '0' ; Hundredths '7' ; thousandths. We need to check and adjust as necessary the 'hundredths' column. We inspect the 'thousandths' column ; next column to the right. It the next column to the right is '5' or greater, then we add '1' to the hundredths column , and ignore everything else to the right. In this case, the thousandths column is '7' ( greater than 5), so we add '1' to the hundredths column 0 + 1 = 1 Hence 16.11 The Answer!!!! ignore everything to the right. NB Be int decimals or integers, for the number to adjusted, inspect the next number to the right. If less than '5' the given number remains as read. If 5 or greater, then add ;1; to the given number. In all cases ignore all other numbers to the right. E.g. 16.10499999.... remains as 16.10 #But 16.10500001111.... is 16.11 You just ignore the '9' and '0'
