Round to the place of the underlined digit. example 16 the 1 is underlined.

wouldn't it be closer to 20 than 10?

Since 16 is more than 15, 16 rounds up to 20.

0.018 = . 02

To round a number to the place of an underlined digit, you need to look at the digit to the right of it. If the digit to the right is 5 or greater, you round the underlined digit up (increase it by 1). If the digit to the right is less than 5, you leave the underlined digit as it is.

Let's take your example, 16, where the 1 is underlined. The digit to the right of 1 is 6, which is greater than 5. So, to round 16 to the place of the underlined digit, you would round up the underlined digit. In this case, the underlined digit is 1, and rounding it up would make it 2. Therefore, rounding 16 to the place of the underlined digit would give you 20.
