Question

2 formula 1 point round 3.5731 to the hundredths place answer previous

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundredths place

In the number \( 3.5731 \), the digits after the decimal are: tenths (\( 5 \)), hundredths (\( 7 \)), thousandths (\( 3 \)), ten - thousandths (\( 1 \)). So the digit in the hundredths place is \( 7 \), and the digit to the right of it (in the thousandths place) is \( 3 \).

Step2: Apply the rounding rule

The rule for rounding is: if the digit to the right of the place we are rounding to is less than \( 5 \), we leave the digit in the place we are rounding to as it is; if it is \( 5 \) or greater, we increase the digit in the place we are rounding to by \( 1 \). Since \( 3<5 \), we leave the digit in the hundredths place (\( 7 \)) unchanged. The digits after the hundredths place are dropped. So \( 3.5731 \) rounded to the hundredths place is \( 3.57 \).

Answer:

\( 3.57 \)
