Rounding 0.0625 to the Nearest Hundredth
When we talk about rounding numbers, we often need to approximate a value to a specific place value. In this case, we want to round 0.0625 to the nearest hundredth.
What is a Hundredth?
A hundredth is a fractional part of a whole that represents 1/100 of the whole. In decimal notation, it is represented by two digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.01 is one hundredth, and 0.12 is twelve hundredths.
Rounding 0.0625
To round 0.0625 to the nearest hundredth, we need to look at the third digit after the decimal point, which is 5. Since the third digit is 5 or greater, we need to round up the hundredth place by adding 1.
The Answer
Therefore, 0.0625 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.06.
Remember
When rounding to the nearest hundredth, we only consider the hundredth and thousandth places. If the thousandth place is 5 or greater, we round up the hundredth place. If the thousandth place is 4 or less, we keep the hundredth place the same.
