To round off the numbers, follow these simple steps: first, identify the digit in the decimal place to which you want to round. If the next digit is 5 or greater, increase the last digit you want to keep by one, and if it's less than 5, just drop the remaining digits. 1) **9,23584 (3 decimal places)** becomes **9,236**. 2) **67,2436 (2 decimal places)** becomes **67,24**. 3) **4,3768534 (4 decimal places)** becomes **4,3769**. 4) **17,247398 (5 decimal places)** becomes **17,24740**. 5) **79,9999 (3 decimal places)** becomes **80,000**. 6) **34,27846 (4 decimal places)** becomes **34,2785**. 7) **5,555555 (5 decimal places)** becomes **5,55556**. 8) **3 π (3 decimal places)** approximates to **9,425** (as \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \)). Rounding is all about approximating numbers, making them easier to read or use in calculations, without losing significant value!
