That's the order of the places after the decimal (after the 17)

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

or 17.30?

anonymous · Answer

i'm just not sure which number to use to round

anonymous · Answer

How to round:
1. Look at the number to the right of the place in question (so look at the 5 which is to the right of the 2)
2. If the number is 4 and down then you round down (keep it a two)
3. If the number is a 5 or above then you round up (make it one number up so in this case since there's a 5 next to the 2 and the 2 is what we're concerned with, we go and round up and make it a 3).
