It involves adjusting the number to the nearest specified place value, which can help simplify calculations and present data more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To round <strong>80.552<\/strong> to the nearest hundredth, we focus on the digit in the hundredths place and the digit immediately to its right. In the number <strong>80.552<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The digit in the hundredths place is <strong>5<\/strong> (the second digit after the decimal point).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The digit in the thousandths place (the third digit after the decimal point) is <strong>2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule for rounding is straightforward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the digit immediately to the right of the place value we are rounding to (in this case, the thousandths place) is <strong>5<\/strong> or greater, we round up the hundredths place digit by one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If that digit is less than <strong>5<\/strong>, we leave the hundredths place digit unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The digit in the hundredths place is <strong>5<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The digit in the thousandths place is <strong>2<\/strong>, which is less than <strong>5<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the thousandths digit is less than <strong>5<\/strong>, we do not increase the hundredths digit. Therefore, we keep the digit in the hundredths place (5) the same. The digits after the hundredths place are dropped, resulting in <strong>80.55<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the correct answer is <strong>80.55<\/strong>. This rounded number is easier to work with, especially in situations where precision to the hundredths place is sufficient, such as financial calculations or measurements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type the correct answer in the box.
