To round 0.5940 to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandths place (which is the third digit after the decimal point). In this case, it is 4.

Since 4 is less than 5, we round down, meaning the digit in the hundredths place (9) remains unchanged.

Thus, 0.5940 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.59.
