Question

round 0.3058 to the nearest hundredth.
answer
attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundredth place

In the decimal \(0.3058\), the digits are: tenths place is \(3\), hundredths place is \(0\), thousandths place is \(5\), ten - thousandths place is \(8\).

Step2: Look at the next digit (thousandths place)

To round to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is \(5\).

Step3: Apply the rounding rule

The rounding rule states that if the digit to the right of the place we are rounding to (thousandths place for hundredths) is \(5\) or greater, we round up the digit in the place we are rounding to (hundredths place).
So, we increase the digit in the hundredths place (\(0\)) by \(1\), so \(0 + 1=1\). The digits after the hundredths place are dropped.

Answer:

\(0.31\)
