arjmen Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 d=2.5 d=2.5 d=2.4 General rule: If the digit you're rounding is followed by 5,6,7,8 or 9, round up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dileepsh Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 When we round a decimal number, we just round the the number beside the number we round. let's clarify this: To the tenth: 0.246 = 0.2 (we first have to round 4, not 6) To the hundredth: 0.246 = 0.25 (this time we round 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
