What is 5.242 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

5.242 rounded to the nearest hundredth... look at the previous number in the bold here: 5.24 2 . Because this number is below 5... the number before it 5.2 4 2 must stay the same. If it was above five, the number would have been rounded up.
So therefore the answer is: 5.242 --> 5.24

The number 5.242 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 5.24 because the digit in the thousandths place (2) is less than 5, so we do not round up the digit in the hundredths place. Therefore, the final result is 5.24.
