dont lose track of what decimal place(dp) u rounding off to
underline the place eg. round off 1.3333333333 to 5p
^
underline that 1
then now take note of the number behind it if its 5 or higher then add 1 to the underlined digit and dont write back the numbers behind the underlined digit in the answer; drop it. if it lower than 5 then just make then digit stay the same and drop the numbers behing it
so the ans to my eg would be 1.33334

When 2 over 8 is a decimal is the decimal repeating or terminating?
2/8 can be reduced to 1/4, which you should know to be .25 in decimal form. Because the decimal "terminates" after the hundredths place, it is a terminating decimal. An example of a repeating decimal would be 1/3. This would come out to be .333333... (etc.) Most calculators will display something like 2/3 as .6666667 placing the 7 on their last available digit displayer as a means of rounding the repeating decimal.
What is an example of a repeating decimal?

What is 6050.287 rounded to the nearest ten Rounding decimals?
If you are rounding to the nearest tenth (the first decimal position), it is 6050.3, since the 8 in the hundredths position would cause the 2 to round up to 3. If you are rounding to the nearest tens (not a decimal, but the second position to the left of the decimal point), it is 6050. If you are rounding to the nearest 10 decimal places, it is 6050.2870000000.
