Question

When $7.966$ is rounded off to the nearest hundredths, we obtain .

• A. $7.97$
• B. $8.000$
• C. $7.96$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $7.97$

We look at the thousandth column as we need to round off $7.966$ to the nearest hundredths.

As the thousandth's place digit is more than 5, we add 1 to the hundredth's place digit.

6+1=7

$\therefore$ The rounded number nearest to hundredths is $7.97$.
