Hint: .5 = .50 = .500 = .5000
When rounding to the nearest second, you have to check the numbers that come after the decimal(5.89) to see if you should round up or down.
If the number in the tenths column is 5 or more (i.e. 4.5, 3.8, 4.9, 1.7, 2.6), you have to round up. If the number in the tenths column is less than 5(i.e. 1.2, 9.3, 7.4, 9.1, 2.0), you have to round down.
Ex:
57.28 = 57.00
Why? Because .28 is less than .5 and if the number in the tenths column is less than 5(i.e. 1.2, 9.3, 7.4, 9.1, 2.0), you have to round down.
Rounding up means that 1 more full second is added to the whole seconds and the numbers that come after the decimals removed.
Ex:
52.85 = 33.00 (=52.85 + 1 - .85)
Rounding down means that the whole seconds (the numbers before the decimal) stay the same, no whole seconds are added, and the numbers that come after the decimals removed.
Ex:
57.28=57.00 (=57.28 + 0 - .28)
Basically, you round to the nearest whole second based on these rules:
Ex:
57.28=57.00 because the numbers that come after the decimal are less than 0.50
.28<.50

11.66 The second place after the decimal place is the hundredths place, and 1 does not round up.
The number is between 894,000,000 and 895,000,000. The second of these is nearer.
Round off to the nearest cent, means round off to the nearest hundredths or round off to two decimal.
Round up to the nearest hundred - 600 (because the two number after the hundred are 50 or more). I take it the second part of the question refers to the nearest ten, as the nearest tenth would be a decimal place. Round down to the nearest ten - 560 (because the unit is less than 5).

Round to the nearest thousandth: 2,000 Round to the nearest hundredth: 2,200 Round to the nearest tenth: 2,190
400,000 and 500,000 are the nearest hundred thousands to the given number. The second of these is nearer and so the answer is 500,000.
700,000 and 800,000 are the nearest hundred thousands to the given number. The second of these is nearer and so the answer is 800,000.
Round 0.8978 to the nearest hundredth
Round to the nearest thousandth: 3,000 Round to the nearest hundredth: 2,600 Round to the nearest tenth: 2,580

Round off to the nearest cent, means round off to the nearest hundredths or round off to two decimal.
The number is between 894,000,000 and 895,000,000. The second of these is nearer.
It requires two decimal places and as the third one is a 9, it will round the second digit up, to give 2.04 as the answer.
