Round 259.98991 to the nearest hundredth.

One tenth is 0.1.   therefore, one hundredth is 0.01. the number that is at that point here is 8, which is rounded to 9 because there is a number greater than 4 after it.   the answer is 259.99. 

You would simple go to the second decimal place,otherwise known as, the hundredths place. you would go over one to the right which is a 9 in the thousandths place. the rule is that if the number to the right of it is 5 or higher then round it up 1 but if it is 4 or below it stays the same. since this number is 259.989 the hundredths place needs to go up one since the thousandths place is a 9. you would get 259.99. i hope that this you!
