22.929 =

-0.659 =

4.178 =

4.714 =

2.714 =

1.326

1.204 =

Round to the nearest one. Don't add decimals:

Answer 1

I am going to presume you have already completed this homework. You can use the following to check your work. If you have questions, please ask.

5.490 = 5.49

22.929 = 22.93

-0.659 = -0.66

4.178 = 4.18

4.714 = 4.71

2.714 = 2.71

1.326 = 1.33

1.204 = 1.20

46.429 = 46

53.571 = 54

Answer 2

Always look one place to the right of the rounding position, i.e. if rounding to tenths, look to the hundredths position. If that figure is 0 - 4, no change and drop all digits beyond; if the "key" figure is 5 - 9, then increase the value in the rounding position by 1 and drop all remaining figures.

ex: 22.929 to two decimals (hundredths) would be 22.93 because the figure in the thousandths place is between 5 and 9.

ex: 4.714 becomes 4.71 because the figure in the thousandths position is between 0 and 4.

53.571 to the nearest one is 54 (because of the 5 in the tenths position.
