Rounding Decimals with Mr. J

In this video, Mr. J explains how to round decimals, focusing on rounding up nines. He demonstrates this through four examples, each showing two methods: regrouping and using two-digit rounding. The examples cover rounding 896 thousandths, 4.99, 47.295, and 59.9 to their respective nearest places. The video aims to simplify the concept of rounding decimals, especially when dealing with nines.
