Question

How do I round up 1.1?

Donagan

Top Answerer

If you're required to round that number, you would round it down. Rounding it to the nearest tenth, it would be 1.0. Rounding it to the nearest whole number, it would be 1.

Question

Do I only look at the digit one to the right of it, or all of it?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Look only at the digit immediately to the right of the place value to which you are rounding. For example, if you want to round 8.13 to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredth place. Since that digit is 3, round down to 8.1.

Question

How to I round off the number 999.956?

Donagan

Top Answerer

It depends on to which place you want to round. If you want to round to the nearest hundredth, look at the digit in the thousandths place. Since that digit is 6, round up to 999.96. However, if you want to round to the nearest one, look at the 9 in the tenths place, and round up to 1,000.

Question

How would I round up 5.899?

Community Answer

It depends on how many places you want to round to. If you're rounding to the nearest whole number, it's 6. If you're rounding to the nearest tenth, it's 5.9. If you're rounding to the nearest hundredth, it's 5.90. (5.9 and 5.90 are not precisely the same number.)

This would be 3.4567. Since the 3 is not 5 or more, it doesn’t change the 7.

Question

Can we write that .188 is equal to .19?

Community Answer

Yes, if you mean that .188 rounds off to .19. The two numbers, of course, are not precisely equal.
