Miles Ballard · Answer 1

26.553 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 26.55.

Damien Gaines · Answer 2

26.55

Step-by-step explanation:

To round to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit behind that, the thousandths place.

If the digit in the thousandths place is 5 or more, we increase the hundredths digit and "cut off" the rest of the number.

If the digit in the thousandths place is 4 or less, we leave the hundredths digit the same and "cut off" the rest of the number.

Since the digit in the thousandths place is 3, we leave the hundredths digit the same, "cutting off" the rest of the number; this gives us 26.55.
