Round off to the nearest tenths

Round off 12.302 to the nearest tenths.

i. Determine the place value you want to round off

(the rounding digit) and circle it.

ii. Look at the digit just to the right (behind) and underline it.
(the digit just to the right)

1 2. 3 0 2 = 1 2 . 3

(the rounding digit)

Note:

If the underlined digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop
all digits to the right of it.

If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and
drop all digits to the right of it. (See the example as shown below)

(Any number)

Less than 5 More than 5

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

A bus travels 1.5 km per minute. How far can the bus travel in 4
minutes?

We can solve the problem using

i repeated addition

1 minute = 1.5 km

4 minutes = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5

= 6.0 km

1.5 + 1.5

iii. We can also solve the problems by multiplying the numbers in vertical
form.

4 x1.5 km =

1. 5 km

6. 0 km

The answer is 6.0 km

Example 2:

1 litre of petrol costs RM1.52. Find the total cost of 5 litres of

petrol

i. Using repeated addition

1l 1l 1l 1l 1l
RM1.52 RM1.52 RM1.52 RM1.52 RM1.52

Solving :

RM1.52 + RM1.52 + RM1.52 + RM1.52 + RM1.52

= RM7.60
