1 answer

To find the result of multiplying 2.49 by 0.17, you would perform the following calculation:

\[ 2.49 \times 0.17 = 0.4233 \]

Now, rounding this result to 2 decimal places, we look at the third decimal place (which is 3):

  • The second decimal place is 2.
  • Since the third decimal place (3) is less than 5, we do not round up.

Therefore, the result rounded to 2 decimal places is:

\[ 0.42 \]
