Rounding to a place value:

Sometimes we round numbers to a place value. We may do this to get an


estimate in our head, or because the context of a situation calls for it. For
instance, we usually round to the one-hundredths when dealing with money.

Example: Divide 15 dollars among seven people. Round to the nearest


penny:

15/7 = 2.142857143 → $2.14 (Rounding covered on next slides)


Decimal Notation

Rounding to a place value:

To round to a particular place value, we look at the number to the right of


that place, and if the digit is between 0 and 4 inclusive, we round down. If
the digit is between 5 and 9 inclusive, we round up:

Example: Round 2.142857143 to the nearest hundredth:

2.142857143 Two is less than 5, so we truncate (leave the 4)→ $2.14

Example: Round 2.14612 to the nearest hundredth:

2.14612 Six is greater than 5, so we round up (4+1=5)→ $2.15

Decimal Notation

Round 777 to 800 and 49 to 50.

Now you can compute 800 x 50 = 8 x 5 x 100 x 10 = 40 x 1000 = 40,000.

(Think of it as 8 x 5 and then add the zeros you left out.)
