Further explanation

There are general rules used in rounding numbers

  • 1. Determine the rounded digit
  • 2. Pay attention to the digits afterward (right). If the digit shows the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then the digit to be rounded is fixed, and the digit on the right is 0 all
  • 3. If the digit on the right shows the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then the digit to be rounded is added to one, and the digit on the right side is made all 0

In rounding the nearest hundreds number, then we see the digit in the number tens (right of the digit hundreds), if it is worth 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then it remains, but if it shows numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then the digit to be rounded is added one, and the right-hand side is 0

a. At 18.386 meters, the hundredth place is 8, and the number behind it is 6

So that number 8 to be rounded and added to one, became 9 and the digit on the right side is omitted

Rounding up becomes:

18.386 ---> 18.39

b. the distance in centimeters :

1 m = 100 cm , so

18.39 meters x 100 = 1839 cm
