It depends on what you are rounding to. If rounding to the nearest ten, the 9 at the end decides which way to round it, and being a 9, it rounds up. If rounding to the nearest hundred, it was is the 7. If rounding up to the nearest thousand, it is the 8.

How do you round 2.459 to the nearest hundredth?
Since 5 is in the hundredths place, you will be rounding it either up or down. To determine if you round up or down, look at the number in the the next place over,in this case, 9. The general rule is if the next number in 1-4, you round down and numbers 5-9, you round up. Since 9 falls in the "up" catagory, you round 5 up to 6. Your final answer would be 2.46 I hope this helps!!

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.
