To round the number 3.512 to the nearest hundredth, we need to look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is the third digit after the decimal point.
1. The hundredths place value is the second digit after the decimal point (1 in this case).
2. The thousandths place value is the third digit after the decimal point (2 in this case).
Since the digit in the thousandths place (2) is less than 5, we do not round up the hundredths place.
Therefore, rounding 3.512 to the nearest hundredth gives us **3.51**.
The correct answer is **B. 3.51**.
1. The hundredths place value is the second digit after the decimal point (1 in this case).
2. The thousandths place value is the third digit after the decimal point (2 in this case).
Since the digit in the thousandths place (2) is less than 5, we do not round up the hundredths place.
Therefore, rounding 3.512 to the nearest hundredth gives us **3.51**.
The correct answer is **B. 3.51**.
