9.3959 rounded to the nearest hundredth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is 9.40<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To round the number 9.3959<\/strong> to the nearest hundredth, we need to follow a systematic approach. Rounding involves looking at the digits to the right of the place value we are interested in\u2014in this case, the hundredths place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identify the relevant place values<\/strong>: The number 9.3959<\/strong> consists of four decimal places. The digit in the tenths place is 3<\/strong> (first digit after the decimal point), and the digit in the hundredths place is 9<\/strong> (second digit after the decimal point). The digit in the thousandths place, which we will use for rounding, is 5<\/strong> (third digit after the decimal point).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Determine how to round<\/strong>: According to standard rounding rules, if the digit in the place immediately to the right of the place you are rounding to (in this case, the thousandths place) is 5 or greater<\/strong>, you round up the digit in the place you are rounding to. Conversely, if it is 4 or less<\/strong>, you keep the digit the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Apply the rounding rule<\/strong>: Here, the digit in the thousandths place is 5<\/strong>. Since 5<\/strong> is equal to or greater than 5<\/strong>, we round up the digit in the hundredths place (which is 9<\/strong>) by 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Adjust the number<\/strong>: Rounding up the 9<\/strong> in the hundredths place results in 10<\/strong>. However, since we can only have one digit in the hundredths place, we need to carry the 1<\/strong> over to the tenths place. Thus, the 3<\/strong> in the tenths place will become 4<\/strong>, and the hundredths place will reset to 0<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, when we round 9.3959<\/strong> to the nearest hundredth, we get 9.40<\/strong>. This process demonstrates how rounding can impact the final value, emphasizing the importance of precision in numerical representation and calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
