Rounded Number 5 0 . 3
  • 2 is in the tenths place and 7 is in the hundredths place
  • Since the digit in the hundredths place (7) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (2)
  • 1 + 2 = 3, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 3
  • The digit in the hundredths place is dropped
