How to Round to the Nearest Hundredth?

To round a decimal number to the nearest hundredth, check the value of its thousandths. If the value is equal to 5 or greater, increase the value in the hundredth’s place by 1 and then remove all digits to the right after the second decimal place. If the value is equal to 4 or less, simply remove all the digits to the right after the second decimal place.For example:
