1. The problem is to round a number to the nearest hundredth. 2. The hundredth place is the second digit to the right of the decimal point. 3. To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the digit in the thousandth place (third digit to the right of the decimal). 4. If the thousandth digit is 5 or greater, increase the hundredth digit by 1. 5. If the thousandth digit is less than 5, keep the hundredth digit the same. 6. Remove all digits after the hundredth place. Example: Round 3.146 to the nearest hundredth. - The hundredth digit is 4. - The thousandth digit is 6, which is greater than 5. - Increase 4 by 1 to get 5. - The rounded number is 3.15. Final answer: 3.15
