When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target, in this case, the digit second from the left. 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.
To round 803.84 to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in hundredth's place. If it is 5 or greater, round the digit in tenth's place to the next higher digit. If the digit in the hundredth's place is less than 5, do not change the digit in tenth's place. 803.84 rounded to the nearest tenth is 803.8.
Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is 9, it will become a zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.
Identify the leading digit of the decimal and then round to the leading digit. 0.00693

This is how you round a decimal to the leading digit. First a leading digit is the first number you come to that is not a zero. Lets say 0.0025 rounding it i would see that 2 is my first real number. okay so look next to it to see the 5 it tell you to round it up . so the 2 would become a 3 so it would look like. 0.003
The leading digit in a number is the digit to the most left. EXAMPLES: 1.09 the leading digit is 1. 298 leading digit 2.
61 - year of birth 10641 number of births ytd
The leading digit would be 3
When the last digit of a significant digit is 5 and we need to round it, we follow a rule called "round half up". This means that we round the digit up to the nearest number if the digit before it is odd, and round down if it's even. For example, 2.5 would round up to 3, while 3.5 would also round up to 4.
the leading digit
A leading digit is the digit/number at the beggining of a decimal number or regular number and is the first number to the left.
Since we want to round a value with 3 sig fig, we need to round that value to the nearest tens. To figure that out, you need to count the number of digit places from the leading nonzero digit to the ending digit based on the number of three significant numbers.96829 is the starting digit. Then, count 2 digits next to "land on" the tens digit, which is 8.The adjacent digit is 2. Since 2 is not 5 or greater, we round down the value to obtain 9680.
