Rounding decimals helps make numbers easier to work with by simplifying them while keeping them close to their original value. To round a decimal, look at the digit right after the place you want to round to. If that digit is 5 or more, you increase the rounding digit by one. If it's 4 or less, you leave the rounding digit the same. For example, if you want to round 3.
