How to

how to round up and down
If the answer to a calculation gives us an answer which is too accurate to be sensible, we can round the number up or down, according to the level of accuracy we require.

e.g. A Local Education Authority has a total of 14 Secondary Schools under its control. There are 13,540 pupils attending those schools. If we find the average number of students per school, the answer does not make sense;

13540 = 967.14285
14

We cannot have .14285 of a pupil! The answer is therefore rounded down to 967 pupils per school.

Should one of the schools close, we get an answer of

13540 = 1040.5384
13

This is rounded up to 1041

Rule:
Decide what level of accuracy you require.
Look at the number after the one you wish to round off to: in the example we rounded the answer to the nearest whole number, or pupil.
If that number is 5 or greater, round up.
If that number is less than 5, round down.
e.g.
The population of Ariba Island is 90,563.
To the nearest 1,000 this can be written as 91,000

The distance between Glasgow and London is 414 miles.
To the nearest 10 miles, this distance is estimated at 410

Darren Scoot broke the men's 100m running record by completing the distance in 9.4567 seconds.
To the nearest hundredth of a second, this is recorded as 9.46

Tips of the day
In classes, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
