The thermometer that I bought came with instructions as to charting your temps. It even gave me a chart to enlarge and use each month. My questions is....how do I chart the last digit?? Example...my temp was 97.71...would I just chart that as 97.7 and if the 1 would have been 5 or more round up to 97.8??? The directions don't explain that.

Thanks! :)

The book I read said to just use one decimal place, so yes, I would round, like you said. If you are at 97.75 - chart is as 97.8. I just started using a great online tool from *************** dot com, that keeps track for you. which is nice. Good luck. I'm totally new to charting, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks! That makes sense. The directions that came with it didn't go into detail about that and I wanted to make sure I was going it as accurate as possible!
