Question

use the aleks calculator to write \\(\frac{9}{16}\\) as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. \\(\frac{9}{16} \approx \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 9 by 16

To convert the fraction \(\frac{9}{16}\) to a decimal, we perform the division \(9\div16\).
\(9\div16 = 0.5625\)

Step2: Round to the nearest hundredth

The hundredth place is the second digit after the decimal point. The number \(0.5625\) has the digit 6 in the hundredth place and 2 in the thousandth place. Since \(2<5\), we round down. So, \(0.5625\) rounded to the nearest hundredth is \(0.56\).

Answer:

\(0.56\)
