Look at the place immediately to the right of the place you want to round off to. If that digit is 4 or less zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5 or greater, increase the place to the left by one and zero everything to the right of that out.

The same as whole numbers. When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one.
