To solve the division problem [tex]\( 3.7 \div 1.1 \)[/tex] and round the result to the nearest hundredth, follow these steps:
1. Perform the Division:
- Divide the numerator (3.7) by the denominator (1.1), which yields approximately 3.3636363636363633.
2. Round to the Nearest Hundredth:
- To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the third decimal place (thousandth place) in the result. If the digit in the third decimal place is 5 or greater, round up the second decimal place by one. If it is less than 5, leave the second decimal place as it is.
- In this case, the result is 3.3636363636363633. The third decimal place is 3, which is less than 5. Therefore, we leave the second decimal place as it is.
3. Final Rounded Result:
- The result rounded to the nearest hundredth is 3.36.
