To round \( \frac{7}{16} \) to the nearest hundredth, first, we need to convert it to a decimal.
Calculating \( \frac{7}{16} \) gives us:
\[
\frac{7}{16} = 0.4375
\]
Now, we round \( 0.4375 \) to the nearest hundredth. The hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point (which is 3 in this case).
To determine whether to round up or keep it the same, we look at the third digit after the decimal point (which is 7). Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round the second digit (3) up by 1.
Therefore, rounding \( 0.4375 \) to the nearest hundredth gives us:
\[
0.44
\]
So, \( \frac{7}{16} \) rounded to the nearest hundredth is **0.44**.
