What is the rule when rounding numbers with two decimal places to the nearest whole number?

gotta go with brian the brain s on that one, he's nailed it!!What is the rule when rounding numbers with two decimal places to the nearest whole number?
The same as for numbers with one or a thousand decimal places. For positive numbers, if the number is %26lt; 0.5 higher than the nearest lower integer, round down. If the number is %26gt;= 0.5 higher than the nearest lower integer, round up.What is the rule when rounding numbers with two decimal places to the nearest whole number?
If the number is .50 or above, round it up. ex 4.51 = 5


If the number is .49 or below, round it down. ex 4.49 = 4
Anything ending in .50 or greater is rounded up to the nearest whole number. Anything less is rounded down.
You look at the number closest to the decimal. If it's 5 or greater round up 1. If not, drop after after the decimal.
1.25 would be 1


1.53 would be 2





5 and over round up 4 and under round down .


i always just forget last number.
1.66 would be 1.70 1.99 would be 2.00 5.33 would be 5.30 hope this has helped u
below 0.5, round down. 0.5 and above, round up.
