How do u round decimals

Answer 1

4 or less give it a rest 5 or more raise the score

Answer 2

So what if it was 12.546

Answer 3

which place are you rounding it to?

Answer 4

it could be 12.55 or 12.5 or 13

Answer 5

100

Answer 6

ok well it goes tenths then hundredths so 12.55

Answer 7

because all youre messing with is the 4 and the 6 and the 6 is more than 5 so you would round the 4 up to 5

Answer 8

does that make sense?

Answer 9

Not really

Answer 10

aha ok so if the number that you are kicking out is more than 5 than you raise the next number up one so because the 6 is more than 5 you will raise the 4 up to 5

Answer 11

So what if it is 34.698

Answer 12

well this one is a bit more tricky are ya ready?

Answer 13

Mhm

Answer 14

the 8 is what youre kicking out so it raises the 9 BUT one more than 9 is 10 sooo we are just going to go up and add 1 to the 6 and make the 9 a 0 like youre adding 10 so it would be 34.70

Answer 15

Wait so yo kick out the ones aftert100

Answer 25

all youre paying attention to is the hundredths place and what comes after it

Answer 26

Oh so after . Is 10 then 100 then 1000

Answer 27

Answer 28

Answer 30

BY GEORGE I THINK YOUVE GOT IT!!

Answer 31

An example:
1.523
5 is the tenths place (0.1)
2 is the hundredths place (0.01)
3 is in the thousandths place (0.001)

You round a number if the number on the far right is higher than 4.
You leave the number alone if the far right number is 4 and lower.
The far right number will only round the number that's right left of it.
Example: 1.235
5 (the far right number) is only going to effect 3 (the number right left of 5)


Rounding the tenths place:
1.24
You do not round, but you drop the extra number = 1.2

1.25
You round up one whole number = 1.3

Rounding to the hundredths place:
1.233
You do not round, but you drop the extra number = 1.23

1.589
You round up one whole number = 1.59

Rounding to the thousandths place:
1.2354
You do not round, but drop the extra number = 1.235

1.8576
You round up one whole number = 1.858

That's as simple as I could put it. I'm sorry if it's too complicated. :(

Answer 32

76.83749
Would be 77.00?

Answer 33

George?

Answer 34

haha sorry its a saying

Answer 35

no actually it would be 76.84 right?

Answer 36

How come?

Answer 37

because the 7 would make the 3 round up to a 4

Answer 38

I don't get that one

Answer 39

its the same thing youre just taking the 7 in the thousandths place and its greter than 5 so it makes the 3 in the hundredths place round up to a 4

Answer 40

greater*

Answer 41

But we're doing 100. Place remember

Answer 42

@kaylific

Answer 43

right so you look at the hundredths place and the number after it

Answer 44
