Math Problem Statement

Round 3184.5641 to two decimal places and to the nearest hundred.

Solution

The problem asks to round the number 3184.5641 in two different ways:

a. Round to two decimal places: To round a number to two decimal places, we look at the third decimal place. Here, the third decimal place is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we leave the second decimal place as is.

  • 3184.5641 rounded to two decimal places is 3184.56.

b. Round to the nearest hundred: To round to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens place, which is 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round the hundreds place up by 1.

  • 3184.5641 rounded to the nearest hundred is 3200.
