How can you round a decimal?

Question

I'm confused with roundin decimals.
Can you help me? How can you round these numbers?5.512 and 57.776.
Please show me how to round decimals like the numbers that i showed below.

Answer 1

5.512=5.51 when rounded to the hundredths place
=5.5 when rounded to the tenths place

57.776=57.78 when rounded to the hundredths place
=57.8 when rounded to the tenths place

Answer 2

if you have a number like 556.254, you look at the number after the decimal, and if it's a 5 or higher the number before the decimal goes up, but if it's a 4 or under, the number stays the same. So 556.254 becomes 556. or if you have 59.562, the 5 after the decimal makes the 9 before the decimal go up to 10, but you can't have a 10 after a 5, so the new number is 60.

Answer 3

well, you first have to know what plcae to round to. For example, 5.512 is consists of the first number being in the ones place, the second 5 in the tenth place, 1 in the hundredth place, and the 2 in the thousandths place. Also, you need to look at the humber after the place you are rounding. If the number is less than 5, then the number will be the same, if the humber is more than 5, then the number goes up by one. If you want to round to the hundredth place, then the answer would be 5.510.

Answer 4

initiate all a thank you to the spectacular and make certain if the quantity is bigger or decrease than 5. on your occasion you prefer to initiate with the quantity a million, that's all a thank you to the spectacular of the decimal place. you will artwork to the left. So try this, the a million is decrease than the quantity 7 so it won't substitute the 7. To the left of the 7 is a 6. The 7 is bigger than 5, so the 6 will "around up" to 7. Your answer is 40 seven.fifty seven undergo in ideas that if a quantity is 5 or greater effective you around up. attempt the subsequent one you will have an answer of 0.05

Answer 5

First, you need to know what digit they want you to round to, like "to the tenths place" or "to the thousanths place"

then look at the number to left of the "place" you were told to round to, if it's >5 round up if not round down. leave the decimal alone, rounding is the same with or without decimals.

Answer 6

depends on what you are supposed to round it to. nearest whole number? or nearest 1/2/3 or more decimal places.
Whichever the case, simply look at the number next to the supposed digit u shld stop at. eg 1st decimal placing, which is 5 in 5.512. so u look at 1. since 1 is less than 5, ur answer shld be 5.5.
57.776, to 1 dp, ur ans shld be 57.8, cos the 3rd 7 is more than 5.
as for a random number sae...7.85, ur ans shld be 7.9 (round off
to 1 dp)

Answer 7

you can round them to the tenths place (1 place after the decimal) which means that if the number to the right of the tenths place is 5 or above, you round the tenths place to the next number. if it is below five, you keep the tenths place the number it is. so 5.512=5.5 and 57.776=57.8 :)

Answer 8

ok, if the number is .5 or more then u round up

if its less than .5 then u round down


also it depends on what ur rounding too
ill pretend that ur rounding to whole numbers

Answer 10

If the last digit is 4 or less you just omit it.
If the last digit is 5 or more, you omit it and increase the previous digit by 1

Eg. 3.1414 Rounded to 3 decimal places becomes 3.141

and 3.1415............................................becomes 3.142

OK?
