To find a decimal that sits in between -5.08 and -5.1, we can find the average of the two numbers:
1. Convert -5.1 to a decimal: -5.1 = -5.10
2. Find the average:
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{-5.08 + (-5.10)}{2} = \frac{-5.08 - 5.10}{2} = \frac{-10.18}{2} = -5.09
\]
The decimal -5.09 lies between -5.08 and -5.1.
Thus, the decimal to the hundredths place that sits in between -5.08 and -5.1 is **-5.09**.
