Rounding to the Nearest Tenth and Hundredth

Step 1: Identify digit to be rounded.
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the one to be rounded.
Step 3: If the digit to the right is >5, add 1 to the digit.
If the digit to the right is <5, leave the digit unchanged.

For Example, Round 67.89 to the nearest TENTH.
Step 1: 8 is the digit to be rounded.
Step 2: 9 comes after the 8.
Step 3: 8 is greater than 5 so I have to add 1 to the 8 which results in 67.9
