What is Rounding?
Rounding is a simple method used to change a number, and all of the numbers behind it to 0. Rounding is similar to an approximation, in order to show you how I should give you an example.
Example:
Round 459 to the hundreds place.
The hundreds place is where the 4 is. We should look at the 5.
Requirements necessary are that 5 needs to be greater than
Because 5 is greater, we can round up to 500.
Rounding is an approximation because it's close to the actual number, in other words, inexact.
Let's use the example as a guide for our problem now.
4.586 to the nearest cm (ones place)
The ones place is the 4. We should look at the 5.
5 is greater than
Because 5 is greater, we can round up to 5.000 cm.
Our final answer is 5.000 cm.
