Question

1. which of the following shows 2.684 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

a 2.68
b 2.69
c 2.70
d 3.00

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rounding rules

To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the thousandth place. The number is 2.684, so the thousandth digit is 4.

Step2: Apply rounding rule

If the digit in the thousandth place (4) is less than 5, we round down. So we keep the hundredth place digit (8) as is and drop the thousandth digit. Thus, 2.684 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 2.68.

Answer:

A. 2.68
