• A. 13.27
• B. 13.28
• C. 13.29
• D. 13.30

Answer: (B)

Rounding to the nearest hundredth keeps two digits after the decimal. To decide, look at the third digit after the decimal (the thousandths place). If that digit is 5 or more, increase the second decimal digit by 1; otherwise leave it. For 13.2754, the hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal, which is 7. The thousandths digit is 5, so we round the 7 up to 8. That gives 13.28. So, 13.2754 rounds to 13.28.
