Question 991888: find the indicated quotient to the nearest hundredth 4.5 divided by 69.81
Answer by Rwilson55(9)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Good question! First of all, you would need to divide 4.5 by 69.81, because the problem states you need to find the quotient, which basically means divisiom.
You would then get 0.06446068. The problem states you need to find the quotient to the nearest hundredth. This means you need to round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
For this you need to understand decimal places. For example, in the number 0.3712, 3 is in the tenths place, 7 is in in the hundredths place, 1 is in the thousandths place, and 2 is in the ten thousandths place. Thus you will need to round your answer to the second decimal place. Look at the third decimal place in the answer, which is 4. This means the 6 in the second decimal place will stay the same. So your final answer is 0.06.
Hope this helps! :)
