When rounding to the nearest whole number, look to the tenths place to know where to go. If the tenths place is closer to 0, round down. If the tenths place is closer to 9, round up. Remember: The place after the decimal is the tenths place.
To round decimal numbers to the nearest whole number, we always check the tenths digit, which is the digit to the immediate right of the decimal point. If this digit is equal to or more than 5, then the given number is rounded up, and if it is less than 5 then the given number is rounded down.
