Answer:
**The rules for rounding off digits are:
1. If a digit after decimal is less than 5, then any increase in its previous digit is neglected.
2. If a digit after decimal is more than 5, then the digit prior to it is increased by 1 unit.
3. If a digit after decimal is equal to 5, we may either increase its previous digit by 1 or not depending of it being odd or even.
- If even, any such increase is neglected.
- If odd, the digit pripr to 5 is increased.
Certain rules are applied to round off the measurements.
If the number lying to the right of digit to be rounded off is less than 5, then the digit to be rounded is increased by 1
Example- if x=6.23 then it's rounded off to x=6.2

If the digit to be rounded is simply 5 then it's preceding digit is left unchanged if it's even
Example- if x=6.25 then it becomes x=6.2

If the digit to be rounded is 5 then 1 is added if it's odd
Example - if x=6.35 then it becomes x=6.4
