We round decimal numbers to the nearest tenths (one place), hundredths (two places), thousandths (three places), and so on, which represent the place values after the decimal point. If the digit is equal to or more than 5, the given number is rounded up (if you've traveled half-way, you may as well go all the way), and if the digit is less than 5, the given number is rounded down.
