- 1 is in the hundredths place and 6 is in the thousandths place
- Since the digit in the thousandths place (6) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place (1)
- 1 + 1 = 2, so the digit in the hundredths place becomes 2
- The digits to the right of the hundredths place are dropped
- 0.0169 rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places) = 0.02
