Write to second decimal place / rounding or not

Post by herdream1 »

Would you please advice - in the following questions, is rounding-up required?

Q: Write to the nearest second place of decimals: 53.176

Is the correct answer 53.17 or 53.18?

(From S&S Mental Arithmetic 5.)

Many thanks.

correct answer is 53.18 - you only consider whether to round the second decimal place by looking at the third.
