Answer:
0.82
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to change 58/71 to a decimal, then round it off to the nearest hundredst.
To change it to a decimal, divide the denominator(71) by the numerator(58)
71/58=0.81690
Then, round off to the nearest hundrest place would be to a number in which the numbers after a decimal would form a fraction with the denominator being 100 that number would be 0.81(ignore every digit after the third number after the decimal place)
if you left the answer like this, it would be wrong. You have to consider the number after the 'rounded off decimal' which is 6. If the number is 5 or higher, add 1 to the previous number.
6 is higher than 5, so we round it off as 1
hence= 0.816 ... 0.8(+1)
Hope this helps
