Rounding Decimals

We can round decimals to a certain accuracy or number of decimal places. This is used to make
calculation easier to do and results easier to understand, when exact values are not too important.

First, you'll need to remember your place values:

To round a number to the nearest tenth,

look at the next place value to the right
(the hundredths). If it's 4 or less, just
remove all the digits to the right. If it's 5 or
greater, add 1 to the digit in the tenths
place, and then remove all the digits to the
right.

(In the example above, the hundredths

digit is a 4, so you would get 51.0)

To round a number to the nearest hundredth, look at the next place value to the right (the
thousandths this time). Same deal: If it's 4 or less, just remove all the digits to the right. If it's 5 or
greater, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place, and then remove all the digits to the right.

(In the example above, the thousandths digit is an 8, so you would get 51.05)

In general, to round to a certain place value, look at the digit to the right of that place value and
make a decision.

Example:

5.1837 to the nearest hundredth would be 5.18 (round down since 3 less than 5), but to the
nearest thousandth, it is 5.184 (round up because 7 is greater than 5 ).
