Round the following numbers to 2 decimal places:

- 0.273
- 1.595
- 6.473
- 2.571
- 0.425
- 44.5564
- 82.3643
- 325.1741

Before I give you the answers, there is a simple rule to observe when rounding a number to two decimal places. If the number in the third decimal place is less than five, then the number in the second decimal place stays the same. If the number in the third decimal place is five or greater than five, the number in the second decimal place is incremented by one. In our case the above numbers are rounded up as follows:
0.273 is rounded up to 0.27 1.595 is rounded up to 1.60 6.473 is rounded up to 6.47 2.571 is rounded up to 2.57 0.425 is rounded up to 0.43 44.5564 is rounded up to 44.56 82.3643 is rounded up to 82.36 325.1741 is rounded up to 325.17

To round numbers to two decimal places, look at the third decimal digit. If it's less than 5, keep the second decimal the same; if it's 5 or greater, increase the second decimal by one. Applying this method, the rounded results are: 0.27, 1.60, 6.47, 2.57, 0.43, 44.56, 82.36, and 325.17.
