Round 0.485 to the nearest hundredth

Decimals start at tenths, then hundredths, then thousandths, and so on. When we round, we look at the place value that is one smaller than the one we want to round to.

So, let's take a look at the thousandths place in 0.485. The value in the thousandths place is 5. When rounding, if the value is 5 or over we round up and if the value is 4 or lower we round down. Since the value in the thousandths place is 5, we will round the hundredths place up one.

0.485 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.49

Hope this helps!
