Question

What is 215 to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

200 is the answer

Answer 2

xlog12=log215
divide both sides by log12
x=log215/log12
so the answer is:
x=2.161303737
or rounded to the nearest tenth, it would be:
x=2.2

Answer 3

That would be to the nearest hundred @Bhim

Answer 4

so its 2.2?

Answer 5

Heh, @AlexPR787 I don't get it, I think the question is simpler, 215 to the nearest hundredth is 215.00, there are no fractional values for this. @coolaidd Can you clarify the question?

Answer 6

sorry let me explain

Answer 7

its 200

Answer 8

I think there is a misunderstanding: hundredth is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth

Answer 9

thats the question..

Answer 10

it is 200

Answer 11

Rounding 215 to the nearest hundred would yield 200, but rounding it to the nearest hundredth would mean 215.00, because there are is no fractional part to the value

Answer 12

so the answer would be?215.00

Answer 13

Well, I'm wondering if the question may actually mean, what is 215 / 100, to the nearest hundrdeth

Answer 14

*hundredth

Answer 15

is that the only thing the question says?

Answer 16

(1.) If the question is merely, what is 215 to the nearest hundredth, then the answer is 215.00

(2.) If the question is actually seeking, what is 215 divided into 100 parts, 215/100, then what is the value of each part rounded to the nearest hundredth, then you have 215/100 = 2.15, so to the nearest hundredth is 2.15

Answer 17

just put 2.2

Answer 18

No, that would be to the nearest tenth

Answer 19

log_5 (2x-5) =-4

2x - 5 = 5^(-4) = 1/625
2x = 5 1/625 = 3126/625
x = 1563/615

Answer 20

is this correct?

Answer 21

well, for that, yeah, looks right

Answer 22

yeah

Answer 23

do i finish 1563/615?

Answer 24

If you need to, like if the question requires you to find the answer to the nearest anything

Answer 25

i got 2.54146341.. what would that be rounded to the hundredth?

Answer 26

OK, so you want to round to the nearest hundredth, this means you need to consider the value of the thousandth, which is the number in the 3rd decimal place. This requires remember the rules for rounding. If the value in the 3rd decimal place is less than or equal to 5, then you round down, and do nothing to the hundredth value. If the 3rd value is greater than 5, then you round up, meaning you add a one.

so if
\[2.541\] then round down because of the 1, it's called rounding down because \[2.54 < 2.541\]

so if
\[2.546\] then round up because of the 1, so \[2.546 becomes 2.54 + .01\] it's called rounding up because \[2.55 > 2.541\]

Answer 27

so its 2.541?

Answer 28

to the right of the decimal point you have
[tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths...]
You want to find your answer to the nearest hundredth, so, yes, look at 2.541

The value in the thousandth place is 1, do you round up or down?

Answer 29

down?

Answer 30

?

Answer 31

Yep, and why ?

Answer 32

because its below 5?

Answer 33

right

Answer 34

so 2.541 is right or do i have to do more to it

Answer 35

Hehe, you have to make to the nearest hundredth, you still have a 1/1000 in there ;)

Answer 36

so how would it look?

Answer 37

?

Answer 38

OK, you want the value with only the hundredth value as the smallest, you want to disregard the other values to the right of the decimal. So, like all the other examples, you would only keep the 2 values to the right of the decimal, so if you have 1.241, you would have 1.24 as the answer if you wanted it to the nearest hundredth....so 2.541 to the nearest hundredth is?

Answer 39

2.54?

Answer 40

Yes, exactly
