Question

round to the nearest hundreth
15/19

Answer 1

To round \( \frac{15}{19} \) to the nearest hundredth, first, we need to perform the division:

\[
\frac{15}{19} \approx 0.7894736842
\]

Now, we round this value to the nearest hundredth:

1. Look at the third digit after the decimal point (which is 9 in this case).
2. Since 9 is 5 or greater, we round up the second digit after the decimal point (which is 8) by 1.

Thus, \( 0.7894736842 \) rounded to the nearest hundredth is:

\[
0.79 \rightarrow 0.79 + 0.01 = 0.79 \rightarrow 0.79 \text{ (after rounding)}
\]

So, \( \frac{15}{19} \) rounded to the nearest hundredth is \( 0.79 \).
