This is why I state that 1.1049 rounds to 1.1. Again, perhaps old school but the 9 round the 4 to a five, in turn rounding the 0 to a 1.
Actually it should round to 1.105. When rounding to a nearest number, it is only appropriate to consider the number right next to it, as the other numbers are considered statistically insignificant... for example, consider rounding 1.149 to the nearest 0.1. It rounds to 1.1, not 1.2 because you shouldn't consider the thousandths place when rounding to the nearest tenth...
