Given the value:
12.462
Round to ones digit.
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.
Since we are asked to round to ones, we must determine first where ones is. The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
The digit in ones on the given equation is 2, and before 2 at the decimal point we have 4, which is less than 5, meaning that the value of the ones digit will remain the same.
= 12
Final answer: 12
