Question

16/21 to the nearest hundreth

Answer 1

Answer:

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

16 / 21 = 0.761

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 761

Now, we will make the Fractional Part just two digits (nearest hundredth) by using our rounding rules.*

In this case, Rule I applies, so 16/21 (or 0.761) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:

0.76

Next, we will make 16/21 rounded to the nearest hundredth in fraction format. Since you can divide our decimal format answer above by 1 and keep the same value, you can make it like this:

0.76 = 0.76/1

Then, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal point:

(0.76 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 76/100

That's it. 16/21 rounded to the nearest hundredth is displayed below (simplified if necessary):

19/25
