Rounding Decimal Places - Rounding numbers to 2dp - Free Printable

Let’s solve each section step by step. We’ll round numbers as instructed — to the nearest whole number, then to the nearest tenth, then to 2 decimal places.

Section 1: Round to the nearest whole number

Rule: Look at the first digit after the decimal point.
- If it’s 5 or more → round up.
- If it’s less than 5 → keep the whole number.

1) 3.94 → 9 is ≥5 → 4
2) 12.14 → 1 < 5 → 12
3) 23.2 → 2 < 5 → 23
4) 15.26 → 2 < 5 → 15
5) 14.52 → 5 ≥5 → 15
6) 12.38 → 3 < 5 → 12
7) 90.82 → 8 ≥5 → 91
8) 24.59 → 5 ≥5 → 25
9) 63.08 → 0 < 5 → 63
10) 29.51 → 5 ≥5 → 30
11) 38.74 → 7 ≥5 → 39
12) 118.4 → 4 < 5 → 118

✔ All checked.

Section 2: Round to the nearest tenth (1 decimal place)

Rule: Look at the second digit after the decimal.
- If it’s 5 or more → round up the tenths place.
- If less than 5 → leave tenths place as is.

1) 4.83 → 3 < 5 → 4.8
2) 1.94 → 4 < 5 → 1.9
3) 15.28 → 8 ≥5 → 15.3
4) 19.31 → 1 < 5 → 19.3
5) 3.97 → 7 ≥5 → 4.0 (because 3.9 + 0.1 = 4.0)
6) 0.74 → 4 < 5 → 0.7
7) 7.016 → 1 < 5 → 7.0
8) 19.372 → 7 ≥5 → 19.4
9) 90.024 → 2 < 5 → 90.0
10) 83.23 → 3 < 5 → 83.2
11) 9.567 → 6 ≥5 → 9.6
12) 0.417 → 1 < 5 → 0.4

✔ All checked. Note: For #5, 3.97 rounds to 4.0 — don’t forget the .0!

Section 3: Round to 2 decimal places (2dp)

Rule: Look at the third digit after the decimal.
- If it’s 5 or more → round up the hundredths place.
- If less than 5 → leave hundredths place as is.

1) 1.174 → 4 < 5 → 1.17
2) 5.029 → 9 ≥5 → 5.03
3) 0.017 → 7 ≥5 → 0.02
4) 15.264 → 4 < 5 → 15.26
5) 3.996 → 6 ≥5 → 3.99 + 0.01 = 4.00
6) 1.083 → 3 < 5 → 1.08
7) 24.361 → 1 < 5 → 24.36
8) 0.9017 → 1 < 5 → 0.90
9) 2.818 → 8 ≥5 → 2.82
10) 4.617 → 7 ≥5 → 4.62
11) 6.301 → 1 < 5 → 6.30
12) 0.0752 → 5 ≥5 → 0.08
13) 1.2837 → 3 < 5 → 1.28
14) 8.295 → 5 ≥5 → 8.30
15) 14.004 → 4 < 5 → 14.00

✔ All checked. Remember: when rounding causes a carry-over (like 3.996 → 4.00), write both zeros for 2dp.
