Question

can anyone explain to me on rounding zeroes?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by 'rounding zeros'

Answer 2

oh wait on decimals

Answer 3

I still don't really understand the question.

Answer 4

for example .801 to nearest hundreth

Answer 5

Oh. Well which one is the 'hundredths' place?

Answer 6

the 0

Answer 7

so look to the digit to the right. it is 1. not enough to round up. thus it remains .80

This might not be relevant to your math class, but that 0 is considered what's called a significant figure. When working with inexact numbers, that 0 is actually important at the end, because even though it does not indicate any additional quantity, it indicates an additional degree of specificity
