okay thanks

Answer 5

So to round, you first find out the decimal place you want to round to (hundredths in this problem), you then look at the last number, if it's 5 or greater, then you add 1 to the next higher number. Then you repeat the process until you reach the hundredths (or whatever decimal place you want to reach).

Answer 6

The next higher number being the next number to the left of the number you are working on.

Answer 7

Unless that comma is supposed to be a decimal and you meant hundredth?

Answer 8

Yeah, that's a comma, whoops. But it's basically the same steps.
49,807
7 >= 5, so add one to the tenths place and set the ones place to 0.
49,810
1 < 5, only set the tenths place to 0
49,800
