A number with one digit after (to the right of) the decimal point is said to have one decimal place. The number can also be said to be rounded to the nearest tenth.
It you are multiplying by a number greater than one (or, equivalently, dividing by a number less than one) then the decimal would either stay put or move to the right.
Move the decimal point to the right one time.
One. However, if the number already has a decimal point, you need to move the decimal point one place to the right, adding one zero if needed.
You move the decimal left or right until you end up with one digit in front of the decimal. Then, if you had to move the decimal to the left to get this number, you will have ten to the positive power of the number of decimal places moved. If you had to move the decimal to the right to get the number, you will have ten to the negative power of the number of decimal places moved. In this example, 5217000000 = 5.217 x 109

Look at the number in the second decimal place. If that number is 4 or less, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that number is 5 or higher, increase the first decimal place by one and zero everything to the right of it out.
A number with one digit after (to the right of) the decimal point is said to have one decimal place. The number can also be said to be rounded to the nearest tenth.
Move the decimal point one place to the right. If the decimal point is already at the end of the number, add a 0 to the extreme right before moving the decimal point.
Simply add one ZERO to the end of the number. If the number is a decimal, then move the decimal point one postion to the right.
