Question

round 55.467 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundredth place

In the number \(55.467\), the digit in the hundredth place is \(6\) (the second digit after the decimal point), and the digit to the right (thousandth place) is \(7\).

Step2: Apply the rounding rule

Since the digit in the thousandth place (\(7\)) is greater than or equal to \(5\), we round up the digit in the hundredth place. So we add \(1\) to \(6\), making it \(7\), and drop the digit in the thousandth place.

Answer:

\(55.47\)
