Step 1 Understand Rounding

Rounding simplifies a number while keeping it close to the original value.


The rule: Look at the digit to the RIGHT of where you're rounding.

• If it's 5 or greater: round UP (increase the digit)

• If it's less than 5: round DOWN (keep the digit the same)

Step 2 Identify the Deciding Digit

We want to round 0.333 to the 1 decimal place.


The deciding digit (the one to the right of our rounding position) is: 3

Since 3 is less than 5, we round DOWN.


0.333 rounded to 1 decimal place = 0.3

Step 4 Verify the Result

Original number: 0.333

Rounded result: 0.3
