Question

What is the concept of rounding decimals? Please be certain to leave an example

Answer 1

Look at the digit to the right of the required number. If it is a 5 or greater, add 1 to previous digit.
If it is less than 5, leave the previous digit unchanged. In either case, drop all the remaining digits. Example: Round off this decimal 7.253896 to three decimal digits.
Answer. 7.253896approximately7.254
(The wavy equal sign approximately means "is approximately equal to.")
To round off to three decimal digits, we must look at the digit in the fourth place. The digit in the fourth place is 8 (greater than 5). Therefore, we add 1 to the previous digit 3.
