You only have to add 1 if you're rounding up.
Round 11.3 and 11.7 to the nearest whole number.
11.3 rounds down, so you just zero out the 3 and you are left with 11.
11.7 rounds up. If you zero out the 7, you're left with 11. But 11.7 is closer to 12 than 11, so you have to add 1.
-- If the place to the right of the place named contains a digit larger than 4, then add ' 1 ' to the digit in the place named. If not, then don't. -- Discard all digits to the right of the place named.
To round 79974 to the nearest hundred, look at the digit in the tens place, which is 7. Since 7 is 5 or greater, you round up. Therefore, you add 100 to 79900, resulting in a final rounded value of 80000.

Numbers of a value of 5 or more round up and add 1 to the next column. Numbers of value 4 or les are ignored. So...2.30259 becomes2.30262.3032.30
Place value helps with mental addition by allowing you to break numbers down into their components based on their positions (units, tens, hundreds, etc.). This way, you can add each place value separately and then combine the results. For example, when adding 34 and 27, you can add 30 and 20 (tens) to get 50, and then add 4 and 7 (units) to get 11, leading to a final total of 61. This approach simplifies calculations and reduces the risk of errors.

You have 1.55 and you want to round to the first place. So add 0.05 as follows 1.05 0.05 ____ 1.10 ____ And the answer is 1.1 You always add a number preceded by as amny zeros as required followed by a 5 to the right of the position to which you want to round off and then truncate the entire answer to the required precision (or place)

When you round up to the nearest 100, you are finding the closest multiple of 100 that is greater than or equal to the given number. To round up to the nearest 100, you look at the digit in the hundreds place. If the digit in the tens or ones place is 5 or greater, you add 1 to the hundreds place and replace all other digits with zeros. For example, rounding up 345 to the nearest 100 would give you 400.
