Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, I think I got you!
Depending on where you have to round to (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, hundred-thousands etc,...)
You use the following algorithm
If equal to or greater then 5 than you round up
If equal to or less then 4 than you keep the number as is
Here are some examples:
Round 4.6537:
If you are told to round 4.6537 to the nearest hundredth than here's how
They tell you to round to the nearest hundredth
The hundredths place: 4.6537
So you look at the number to the right of it and follow the rules: if the number to the right of the number you are trying to round is equal to or greater than 5 you round up, if equal to or less then 4 you leave the number as is.
3 is less than 4 so you leave the number you are rounding as is shortening it to just: 4.65
Round 6.733:
Lets say you are told to round 6.733 to the nearest tenth
They tell you to round to the nearest tenth
The tenths place: 6.733
So you look at the number to the right of it and follow the rules: if the number to the right of the number you are trying to round is equal to or greater than 5 you round up, if equal to or less then 4 you leave the number as is.
3 is less than 4 so you leave the number you are rounding as is shortening it to just: 6.7
Round 54.9019
Lets say you are told to round 54.9019 to the nearest thousandth
They tell you to round to the nearest thousandth
The thousandths place: 54.9019
So you look at the number to the right of it and follow the rules: if the number to the right of the number you are trying to round is equal to or greater than 5 you round up, if equal to or less then 4 you leave the number as is.
9 is greater than 5 so you round the number up: 54.902
Really hope that helped,... Chow,...!
