Do you round the second number when the third number is a five or higher?

You are free to round any number you like. The point about the next decimal being a five or higher is that you would then round up to a higher figure (for example, .0835 can be rounded up to .084) whereas, if the number is 4 or less, you would round down to a lower number (for example, .083 can be rounded down to .08).

Need to round up 4.125?
The answer is 4.12. To round it you have to look on the third and second numbers.If the third number is lower than 5, then the second number stays the same. If the third number is higher than 5, then the second number increases by 1 only.For example:7.56246768As you can see that the third number is 2. And two is lower than 5. That means that second number ( 6 ) stays the same.Other example :5.638Here the third number is 8. So that means that second number ( 3 ) is going to increase by one only. So than 3 becomes 4 and you get rid of 8.The answer is 6.63PS: You don't always have to look at second and third number. To round like for example to fourth number, you have to look at fifth number and if fifth number is higher than 5, then you increase your fourth number by one, if its lower, than you don't change fourth number and get rid of other numbers that are after it.Hope this helps.
Round 2.346 to the nearest hundredth?
The answer is 2.35 To round to the nearest hundredth, look at the third number after the decimal. If it is a 5 or higher, raise the number before it to the next higher number. In your number, the 6 is in the third place after the decimal. Since it is a 5 or higher, the number before it (the 4) goes up to the next higher number. So we say the 4 is rounded up to a 5. Now, if that 6 was a number smaller than 5, we would just leave the second place number after the decimal just as it is. We would not change it. If your number was 2.341, it would be rounded to 2.34

To be correct, you must look at the THIRD decimal and increase the second decimal by 1 up only if the third decimal is 5 or higher. Leave the second decimal as is when the third decimal is 4 or lower.Examples:12.28 = 12.28 because it was already expressed as 2 decimals.12.284 = 12.28 (4 or less)12.285 = 12.2912.289 = 12.29
