To round the number 1.652 to the place of the underlined digit (which is the hundredths place), we look at the digit immediately to the right of the underlined digit (the thousandths place).
- The number is 1.652.
- The underlined digit (hundredths place) is 5.
- The digit to the right (thousandths place) is 2.
Since 2 is less than 5, we do not round up.
Therefore, when rounding 1.652 to the hundredths place, it becomes 1.65.
