Rounding Decimals When rounding decimals it is first necessary to identify the place value you are rounding to. The digit that follows will tell you whether you should round up or leave the digit the same. If the digit is: l 5 or higher – round up by one If the digit is: l 4 or lower – leave the same Digits past the rounded digit are not recorded in the rounded number.

When rounding it is helpful if you. . . Circle the place value you are rounding to. Underline the digit that follows; it is this digit that tells you to round up or leave the same.

Example 34. 561 rounded to the nearest tenth is. . . 34. 561 34. 6

Example 4. 6341 rounded to the nearest hundredth is. . . 4. 6341 4. 63

Example 67. 1125 rounded to the nearest thousandths is 67. 1125 67. 113

Example. 6971 rounded to the nearest hundredth is. . . 0. 6971. 70

Example 5. 96 rounded to the nearest tenth is. . . 5. 96 6

Example 587. 469 rounded to the nearest whole number is. . . 587. 469 587
