Round 6.345 to three figures

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the rounding rules for 5''s....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything 5 and below rounds down... that might help

OpenStudy (buggiethebug):

If there is any non-zeronumber to the right of 5, round up; if there is no non-zero number to the right of 5, round the numbers to the nearest even number (this may mean rounding up or down, depending on the situation)

OpenStudy (buggiethebug):

But I don't get how the answer is 6.34 .. why doesn't anything change?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but your looking at the numbers to the left of the 5. So being that the 5 rounds down the 4 stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you are correct it would be 6.34

OpenStudy (buggiethebug):

So what numbers do we round off to the nearest even number?

OpenStudy (buggiethebug):

OHHHH if it'salready an even number, it stays the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its now even that you rounded the 5 off

OpenStudy (buggiethebug):

Thank you :)
