## 📌
Rounding Rules Recap:
1. Round to nearest 1,000
- Look at the
hundreds digit.
- If it’s
5 or greater, round
up.
- If it’s
4 or less, round
down.
- Replace the last three digits with zeros.
2. Round to nearest 10,000
- Look at the
thousands digit.
- If it’s
5 or greater, round
up.
- If it’s
4 or less, round
down.
- Replace the last four digits with zeros.
3. Round to 1 decimal place (tenths)
- Look at the
hundredths digit (second digit after decimal).
- If ≥5 → round up the tenths digit.
- If <5 → leave tenths digit unchanged.
4. Round to 2 decimal places (hundredths)
- Look at the
thousandths digit (third digit after decimal).
- If ≥5 → round up the hundredths digit.
- If <5 → leave hundredths digit unchanged.
