The hundredths place is the second digit to the right of the decimal point (in this case, it&#8217;s the 2 in 0.125). To round, we look at the digit in the thousandths place (which is the 5). Since this digit is 5 or higher, we round the hundredths place up by 1.

If that digit is 5 or higher, you round the hundredths place up by 1. If it\u2019s less than 5, you leave the hundredths place unchanged. In this case, since the third digit (5) is 5 or higher, we round the decimal up from 0.125 to 0.13.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final result<\/strong>: After rounding, ( \\frac{1}{8} ) is approximately 0.13, making option b the correct answer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert 1\/8 to a decimal.
