Question

How do you write 2.738 correct to 2 decimal places?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Since `2.738` is only one decimal place more then 2 decimal places, the main numbers that we are going to be looking at are `2.7 color(blue)(38)`.

Now, we are going to have to round that `3` in the `38`. To do that, you must look at the `8`, and see if it is larger then 5, or less than 5. Since it is larger than, you can round the `38` up to `40`. So now the number you have is `2.740`, but since the `0` does not need to be included, you have `2.74`, which is 2 decimal places.

Answer 2

`2.74`

Explanation:

`2.74`, because when the next decimal digit is `>=5`, then it adds up one to the previous one.
