Rounding DecimalsWhen rounding decimals, you have to remember these rules:

If the digit to the right of the place you are rounding to is 4 or less, leave the number in the place you are rounding to the same and change all digits to the right of it to zeros.

If the digit to the right of the place you are rounding to is 5 or more, round the number in the place you are rounding to to the next higher digit and change all the digits to the right of it to zeros.

To round 4.5 to the nearest whole number, look at the digit in the tenth's place. Since it is a 5, round the 4 to a 5. Your answer is 5, or you could write it as 5.0.

If you're rounding to decimal places, you can leave the zeros to the right off in your answer. For example, if you're rounding 6.849 to hundredths place, you could write the answer as 6.85 instead of 6.850 because the zeros are not needed.
