Answer 2

Answer:  0.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you step-by-step how to get the solution to: "What is 5/7 rounded to the nearest hundredth?"

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

5 / 7 = 0.714

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 714

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

In this case, Rule I applies, so 5/7 (or 0.714) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:

0.71

Next, we will make 5/7 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:

0.71 = 0.71/1

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

(0.71 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 71/100

That's it. 5/7 rounded to the nearest hundredth is displayed below (simplified if necessary):

71/100
