Question

round to the hundredths place. 6.5472

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundredths place

In the number \(6.5472\), the digits after the decimal are tenths (5), hundredths (4), thousandths (7), ten - thousandths (2). So the digit in the hundredths place is 4, and the digit to the right of it (in the thousandths place) is 7.

Step2: Apply the rounding rule

The rule for rounding is: if the digit to the right of the place we are rounding to is 5 or greater, we round up the digit in the place we are rounding to; if it is less than 5, we leave the digit in the place we are rounding to as it is. Since \(7\geq5\), we add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place. So \(4 + 1=5\), and we drop the digits to the right of the hundredths place.

Answer:

\(6.55\)
