The tenth place in this case is the 2. You look at the number to the right of this which is a 5. If the number is 5 or above you round up if it is below 5 you round down. Since it is a 5 you would round 2 up to a 3. 0.3 is your answer(:
Personally, I have always been taught to round up. (ex. if an answer is 0.5, I usually round it to 1.)
if the unit digit ie the '3' in 53 is less than 5, round down - if the unit digit is 5 -9 you round up.. Examples... 41 - round down to 40 67 - round up to 70 59 - round up to 60 33 - round down to 30 56 - round up to 60 75 - round up to 80
It is rounded to 759 because the rule is when a # is greater than 5, round down and when a # is less than 5, round up.

If I think your asking the question how I think your asking it, then any number 5 and above you round up. If its below 5 you round down. :-)
The usual practice with a 5 is to round up, so for example 7.5 is about 8.
For example:- If it is 4.1, 4.2 4.3 or 4.4 then we round it up to 4 or else if it is 4.5 ,4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 then we round it up to 5.
28.26 is going to be 28.3 If a digit is > or = to 5 you round up, < 5 you round down.

18.27 ( 5 and up round up 4 and down round down :P )
When the last digit of a significant digit is 5 and we need to round it, we follow a rule called "round half up". This means that we round the digit up to the nearest number if the digit before it is odd, and round down if it's even. For example, 2.5 would round up to 3, while 3.5 would also round up to 4.
If the previous digit is 5 or more then round up but if the previous digit is less than 5 then round down.
