Answer
### a) 1.21### b) 3.43### c) 0.35
Explanation
## Step 1: Identifying the Hundredths Place### The hundredths digit is the second digit to the right of the decimal point.## Step 2: Rounding 1.212### The digit to the right of the hundredths place (2) is less than 5, so we keep the hundredths digit the same and drop the remaining digits.
## Step 3: Rounding 3.427### The digit to the right of the hundredths place (7) is 5 or greater, so we add 1 to the hundredths digit and drop the remaining digits.
## Step 4: Rounding 0.351### The digit to the right of the hundredths place (1) is less than 5, so we keep the hundredths digit the same and drop the remaining digits.
