When rounding to the nearest hundredth, the third decimal place dictates whether the number rounds up or stays the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>0.955<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.956<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.957<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.965<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.964<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When rounding a decimal number to the nearest hundredth, we examine the digit in the thousandths place (the third decimal). If the digit in the thousandths place is 5 or greater, the number rounds up, and if it&#8217;s less than 5, it rounds down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, all the numbers provided round to 0.96 because their third decimal places meet the rule for rounding. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>0.955<\/strong> rounds up to 0.96 since the digit in the thousandths place is 5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.956<\/strong> rounds up to 0.96 because the thousandths place has a 6, which is greater than 5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.957<\/strong> rounds up similarly, as the thousandths place has a 7.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.965<\/strong> rounds up to 0.96 because 5 in the thousandths place makes it round up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0.964<\/strong> rounds to 0.96 because the 4 in the thousandths place is less than 5, but rounding to the nearest hundredth, it stays at 0.96.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding this rounding rule, you can determine any decimal number that rounds to 0.96 when rounded to two decimal places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write five decimals that round to 0.96 The correct answer and explanation is: To provide five decimals that round to 0.96, we need to focus on numbers where the third decimal place is either 5 or higher (which would round up) or less than 5 (which would round down).
