Hundredth is the reciprocal of 100; 1100; 0.01.
In other words, you can interpret hundredth as nearest 2 decimal place.
78=0.875=0.88 (2.d.p)

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
78=0.875
There are two parts to the decimal number above:
Integer Part: 0
Fractional Part: 875
Now, we will make the Fractional Part just two digits (nearest hundredth) by using our rounding rules.*
In this case, Rule II applies, so 78 (or 0.875) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:
0.88
Next, we will make 7/8 rounded to the nearest hundredth in fraction format. Since you can divide our decimal format answer above by 1 and keep the same value, you can make it like this:
0.88=0.881
Then, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal point:
0.88×1001×100=88100
That's it. 78 rounded to the nearest hundredth is displayed below (simplified if necessary):
2225
