Round 4.6734 to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

Two decimal places means two digits after the decimal point.  To round to 2 decimal places, look at the third digit.  It’s 3 and as this is less than 5, the second digit 7 will stay unchanged.

Therefore 4.6734 to 2 decimal places is 4.67

Only four out of 10 teachers could work out that 2.1 per cent of 400 is 8.4. Only a third knew that 1.4 divided by 0.1 is 14, and less than 50 per cent could work out that a half divided by a quarter is 2.
