Description: Calculating formula questions does not round numbers correctly when there are 3 decimals or more in Ultra courses. For example, when multiplying 4.225 x 7 (2dp), the answer is 29.575 (3dp) but rounding should make this 29.58. However, the test indicates that the correct answer is 29.57 and grades the correct answer as incorrect as a result.

Steps to Replicate:

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn as Administrator 
  2. Navigate to > Content > Click on > Create and add a test 
  3. Click on the Assessment content plus sign and add a question 
  4. Select > Calculated Formula Question 
  5. Add a question text like, answer the result of 4.225 x 7
  6. Add the formula for making the calculation (4.225 x7) 
  7. On next, Normal select > Rounding - decimal places-2 
  8. Add and automated feedback in order to know the outcome of the test

Observed Behavior: The good answer is the truncated value, not rounded (29.57) 
Expected Behavior: The result is 29.58, as general rule rounding 29.575
