anonymous · Answer

wow just could not understand how it was worded
thx

mathstudent55 · Answer

Yes. If you are doing long division by hand (without a calculator), do it to the third decimal place. Then you can round it off to the second decimal place.

anonymous · Answer

if you are rounding it to the nearest hundredth 0.70 or .071

anonymous · Answer

.71 sorry

mathstudent55 · Answer

The result of the long division is 0.7142857...
Since you want it to the nearest hundredth, you must keep the second decimal place. That is the 1. Since the digit after the 1 (the 4) is less than 5, you keep the 1 as 1. The answer is 0.71
If the digit after the 1 were 5 or higher, then it would be 0.72.
