It can't be A or C... or D, so process of elimination is B.
That wasn't so hard.

Answer 2

can u explain

Answer 3

I'm not good with different place values but
A is NOT correct because it says "24.61" which--- well, I take it back. I think I'm reading it wrong and it could be A.
B is NOT it because anything below 4 rounds back to a 1 or stays the same so it'd be 24.61, not 62.
C is NOT it because 24.65... how do they even get that? The 1 stays a 1 and the 7 makes an 8.
D is the same as C

Answer 4

So A

Answer 5

so its not b?

Answer 6

I found someone posted the same question but the answer was deleted. A makes more Sense than B so A

Answer 7

You need to round to the nearest 100th.
First find the digit in the hundredths polace.
24.617
^
The digit 1 is in the hundredths place.
That means everything to the right of the 1 will be gone.

Now you need to decide what to do with the digit 1.
The rule is that if the digit after 1 is 5 or larger, change the 1 to a 2.
If the digit after the 1 is 4 or less, the 1 remains as 1.

In this case, the digit after the 1 is 7, which is greater than 5, so the 1 becomes a 2.
The final answer is 24.62

Answer 8

That's what I was thinking when I thought it was B. So maybe I was right the first time

Answer 9

B is the correct answer.
