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.

What would be 159.45 if you round it to the greatest nonzero place


My daughter's math homework is to round to the greatest nonzero place. Example 0.86345 what is the nonzero place?

The greatest nonzero place is the number closest to the left (or the greatest number) that is not zero. So in this example, that would be the 8. So you would round the 8 up to a 9 (since 6 is greater than 4). So your answer would be 0.9

My daughter's math homework is to round to the greatest nonzero place. Example 2.814 What is the nonzero place?

What this means is to round to the biggest digit that is not zero (the one furthest to the left that is not zero). So: 2.814 would round up to 3 because the greatest nonzero digit is the two and the digit to the right of that (the 8) is between 5 & 9. Some more examples of rounding to the greatest nonzero place: 0.00080472 ≈ 0.0008 0.330921 ≈ 0.3 (It rounds down as the number to the right of the 3 is between 0 & 4) 9.1 ≈ 9 5.942 ≈ 6
