Lesson Summary

The general rule for estimating is to look at the digit to the right of the digit you want to estimate. Estimating or rounding to the nearest whole number means looking at the digit to the right of the decimal. If you see a digit greater than 5, round up, and if it's less than 5, round down.

The General Rule of Estimation

Find the digit in the place we want to round to. Observe the digit to its right to decide how to round: If the digit to the right is 0-4 i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4: we leave the digit alone (round down). If the digit to the right is 5-9 i.e., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: we increase the digit by 1 (round up).
