To convert \( \frac{25}{16} \) to a decimal, you can perform the division:
\[
25 \div 16 = 1.5625
\]
Now, round this to the nearest hundredth:
The hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point, which is 6 in this case. The digit right after it (the thousandths place) is 2. Since 2 is less than 5, we do not round up.
Thus, \( 1.5625 \) rounded to the nearest hundredth is:
\[
1.56
\]
So, \( \frac{25}{16} \) as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth is **1.56**.
\[
