This document provides instructions for rounding decimals to different places. It explains that rounding decimals works similarly to rounding whole numbers, with the only difference being the presence of a decimal point. The key rules covered are: 1) look at the digit to the right of where you are rounding; 2) if the digit is 4 or less, round down; 3) if the digit is 5 or more, round up. Several examples are provided to demonstrate how to apply these rules when rounding decimals to the nearest tenth or hundredth.

4. More on Rounding Decimals Round to the nearest tenth 4. 0 82 The number to the right of 0 is 8 8 is greater than 0, which means that I need to round the 0 up to a 1 All numbers after the 1 will become a 0 The answer is 4.100

5. More practice! Round to the nearest hundredth 0.5 5 1 The number to the right of the 5 is 1 1 is less than four so I need to round down! The 5 stays as a 5 and everything else becomes a 0 0.551 rounded to the nearest hundredth equals 0.550

6. You do it now! Round to the nearest hundredth 9.718 4.981 0.9876 0.653
