1.24


1.25


1.23


1.26

Answer 1

To round the number 1.24792 to the nearest hundredth, we look at the third decimal place (the thousandths place) to decide how to round the second decimal place (the hundredths place).

1. The number is 1.24792.
2. The hundredths place is 4 (the second digit after the decimal).
3. The thousandths place is 7 (the third digit after the decimal).

Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the hundredths place.

So, we round 1.24 up to 1.25.

The answer is **1.25**.
