\n" ); document.write( "Rules for rounding decimals.
\n" ); document.write( "1. Retain the correct number of decimal places (e.g. 3 for thousandths, 0 for whole numbers)
\n" ); document.write( "2. If the next decimal place value is 5 or more, increase the value in the last retained decimal place by 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another says:
\n" ); document.write( "To round off decimals:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 1. Find the place value you want (the \"rounding digit\") and look at the digit just to the right of it.
\n" ); document.write( " 2. If that digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it.
\n" ); document.write( " 3. If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Some say round up if the previous ( our 0 ) is even down if odd which would be 2.1 in this case\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So all are agreed that in this case round up to 2.1 \n" ); document.write( "
