The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1".
13.55 (2dp) can be obtained from numbers with 3 decimal places ranging from 13.545 to 13.554.
Six possibilities for the original number are 13.545, 13.547, 13.549, 13.551, 13.552, 13.554.
NOTE : If the choice of original numbers were extended to numbers having (say) 6 decimal places of figures then the six possible numbers could have been chosen from the range 13.545001 to 13.554999
The answer to an addition question should have no more decimal places than the smallest number of decimal places in the numbers being added. When rounding numbers, numbers 5 though 9 will be rounded up and 1 through 4 will be rounded down.
The number 1.9 is already rounded to one decimal place.
The number 615.44 is already rounded to two decimal places.

Since there are an infinite number of decimal numbers, it is impossble to know what the next number in the sequence will be. Rounded to a single decimal place, -0.9 + 0.1 = 0.8.
9.3 rounded to the nearest decimal number is 9.3
The answer to an addition question should have no more decimal places than the smallest number of decimal places in the numbers being added. When rounding numbers, numbers 5 though 9 will be rounded up and 1 through 4 will be rounded down.
25.12 rounded to one decimal number is 25.1
The numbers are: 3.510412 and -20.510412 rounded to 6 decimal places
It is: 3.5 rounded to one decimal place
if the the number in the tens place ( first number behind the decimal) is more than five then the number before the decimal goes up a number value. If the number in the tens place is lower than five then you do not round
The difference is that all whole numbers are decimal numbers, but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers. For example a whole number such as 1 is a decimal number but a decimal number such as 1.5 is not a whole number.
17.635 already is rounded to 3 decimal places.
The answer is 375.27
