Question

round the number 67.238 to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundredth place

In the number \(67.238\), the digits after the decimal are: tenths place (\(2\)), hundredths place (\(3\)), thousandths place (\(8\)).

Step2: Check the thousandth digit for rounding

To round to the nearest hundredth, we look at the thousandth digit (the digit to the right of the hundredth place). Here, the thousandth digit is \(8\).
Since \(8 \geq 5\), we round up the hundredth place digit.
So, we add \(1\) to the hundredth place digit (\(3\)): \(3 + 1 = 4\).
The digits before the hundredth place (the whole number part and the tenths place) remain the same.

Answer:

\(67.24\)
