Question
Janie dug up 3.176 pounds of dirt from around a rose bush in her backyard. She measured the dirt and recorded the rounded amount to the nearest hundredth.Which amount of dirt was recorded? A. 3.200 pounds B. 3.000 pounds C. 3.180 pounds D. 3.170 pounds
Solution
The answer is C. 3.180 pounds. When rounding to the nearest hundredth, you look at the third decimal place. If it's 5 or above, you round up. If it's 4 or below, you round down. In this case, the third decimal place is 6, so you round up the second decimal place from 7 to 8.
