If the number to be dropped is less than four, keep the number in front the same. 3.43 would be rounded to 3.4 .

If the number to be dropped is greater than five, round the number in front up by 1. 3.46 would be rounded to 3.5 .

If the number to be dropped is exactly five, keep the number in front the same if it is even. If the number in front is odd, round up by 1.

4.65 rounds to 4.6 .

4.75 rounds to 4.8 .
