How to solve
Find the digit in the target place, look one digit to its right, and round up when that digit is 5 or more.
Steps
- Locate the place you are rounding to (tens, hundreds, tenths, hundredths).
- Check the digit immediately to the right.
- If it is 5–9, add one to the target digit; otherwise keep it.
- Replace everything to the right with zeros (or drop it after a decimal point).
Example
Round 3.276 to the nearest hundredth.
- Hundredths digit is 7; the digit right of it is 6.
- 6 ≥ 5, so the 7 rounds up to 8.
