- 7 is in the hundredths place and 8 is in the thousandths place
- Since the digit in the thousandths place (8) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place (7)

- The digits to the right of the hundredths place are dropped
- 0.07894 rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places) = 0.08
