  • 4 is in the tenths place and 5 is in the hundredths place
  • Since the digit in the hundredths place (5) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (4)
  • 1 + 4 = 5, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 5
  • The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped
