About Rounding Decimals:

When we work with decimals, we learn that the place value chart expands to the right of the ones’ place. Additionally, we learn how to round decimals. The process is the same as with whole numbers with one slight variation. Lastly, we will also learn how to compare the size of two or more decimals.
