The rule that is taught in schools is that rounding is determined by the value of the next digit. If it is 4 or less you would simply remove all the digits after the point of rounding. If the digit is 5 or more, you remove all the digits after the point of rounding but also increase the final digit of the rounded number by 1.
Unfortunately, this method is flawed because it introduces a systematic bias in the way 5s are rounded.
0 does not need rounding;
1, 2, 3 and 4 should be rounded down;
6, 7, 8 and 9 should be rounded up.
The two main ways of rounding 5 is to ensure that the last "surviving" digit is always odd or always even. The IEEE 754 standard is to round to even.
In whole numbers, rounding to the nearest ten is better. And in decimals, rounding to the nearest hundreth is more accurate.
There are several rules for decimals, depending on what you want to do.
599999 if rounding to the nearest 300000 with no rounding up to the nearest 300000 multiple. Granted normally you would not define your rounding rule that way, but there is no fixed rounding rule.
Decimals repeat because there is no definite end. In these, you can end the repeat by rounding up... (Exp: 4.44444444444444... would be 4.45 or 4.445 or 4.4445, etc.
Rounding decimals is very similar to rounding other numbers. If the thousandths place of a decimal is four or less, it is dropped and the hundredths place does not change. For example, rounding 0.843 to the nearest hundredth would give 0.84.
Finding the nearest decimal
When you are shopping or rounding decimals to the nearest price!
rounding whole numbers and decimals
Is the rounding is skidding
it rounds to that number because the number 4 is lower so they take that number out of the picture.
Round to the nearest decimal
Yes if the number includes decimals
In whole numbers, rounding to the nearest ten is better. And in decimals, rounding to the nearest hundreth is more accurate.
Instead of rounding each number to a given place value, we round whatever number is in the front.
There are several rules for decimals, depending on what you want to do.
keep your decimals in the right position
Decimals are estimated by rounding off the decimal places to the nearest tenths,hundredths,thousandths,ten thousandths,etc.
