Rounding Off Decimals
Metric measurements in decimals are often long

convenient number of digits. In this text, most
metric dimensions are either whole millimeter or
two-places decimals that have been rounded off.
If the first number to be eliminated is less than 5, simply drop it (and the
number to the right of it) and let the last significant digit stand.
