Writing number correct to 2 decimal places

[GarBow]

12.82 - you are not asked to round up or down in the question but to write the number "correct to 2 decimal places" which is 12.82.

12.82 < 12.826 so 12.82 is not correct
12.83 > 12.826 so this isn't correct either

(See my previous post for the correct, unrounded, answer)

I agree with mathepac, the answer is 12.82, however I agree with the other posters that the person who wrote the question problem meant to say rounded to two decimal places.

I have a maths degree.

I have no maths degree and am somewhat amused that the experts find it difficult to agree

I don't think there is any disagreement on that 12.826 ROUNDED to 2 decimal places is 12.83.

The disagreement is with what the original question actually asks.
ie. to round or NOT to round to 2 decimal places.

What are we like????
