How do you round 197.0853 to nearest tenth?

Answer 1

It depends on your rounding rules.

The 'averaging rule' is this:

1) If the placement decimal value is 5 or higher, round up.

2) if the placement decimal value is 4 or lower, round down.

For this rule, the above number will round to 197.1

If you use the 'truncation rule', you always drop ANY value at that point.

For this rule, the above value will round to 197.0
