To round a decimal, look at the number in the tenths place. If it’s 5 or more, add 1 to the number in the ones place. If it’s less than 5, leave the number in the ones place unchanged. If the number is at the end of the decimal, look at the number before it to determine whether to round up or down. To round to the nearest whole number, look at the number in the hundredths place. If it’s 5 or more, add 1 to the number in the tenths place. If it’s less than 5, leave the number in the tens place unchanged.
