There are certain rules to follow when rounding a decimal number. Put simply, if the last digit is less than 5, round the previous digit down. However, if it's 5 or more than you should round the previous digit up. So, if the number you are about to round is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 round the number up.

Other numbers (not ending in 0.5) round to nearest as usual, so: 7.6 rounds up to 8. 7.5 rounds up to 8 (because 8 is an even number) 7.4 rounds down to 7.
How do you round up decimals?
- First, find the digit in the place you are rounding to.
- Look at the digit one place to the right.
- If the digit is less than 5, round down. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up.
