7.2 x 12 x 0.23 = ? Round to the nearest hundredth.

A. 19.44

B. 19.43

C. 19.87

D. 19.88

The question is asking us to multiply three numbers and then to round the result to the nearest hundredth. First we will calculate: 7.2 * 12 * 0.23 = 19.872. Now we have to round it to 2 decimal places. If we had 19.875 as a result we would round it to 19.88. But we have 19.872 (2 is smaller than 5) and we will round it to 19.87. Answer: C) 19.87.
