What's 24.447 rounded to 1 dp? Because the computer says 24.4. I believe it's 24.5.

Q: Is .447 closer to .4 or to .5?

Let's see. .447 - .4 = .047

On the other hand, .5 - .447 = .053

Which of those differences is the least? That tells you which to round to.

Your computer is correct.

 

1 DP is the the First number after decimal point.

 

And you the number after round it if it's 0.50 or higher you have to round 4 to 5 if it's lower you leave it .

 

24.4
