One simple question....

Published

Hi everyone good night. I am having alot of trouble with rounding in math as it's been a long time since I've been back in school. With a question where you have an answer like 9.1342 where you are told to round to the hundreths, what would the answer be because your supposed to drop ever number below 5. Is it 9.13? ROUNDED IN HUNDRETHS. THANKS ALOT GUYS, AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!!!

You got it right. However, unless you are dealing with a 700 gram patient and trying to decide how much rocuronium to push in order to keep the kiddo relaxed for 30 minutes, or unless you are meddling in particle physics...I usually round up to the tenths.

Hello, your answer is correct. the three is in the hundreths column and you wouldn't round it up because the number to the right is less than 5.
