Identify the target place value

\[
\text{Value} = 0.05822
\]
\[
\text{Tenths place: } 0
\]
\[
\text{Hundredths place: } 5
\]
\[
\text{Thousandths place: } 8
\]

Examine the digit to the right

\[
\text{Digit in ten-thousandths place} = 2
\]

Apply rounding rules

\[
2 < 5 \implies \text{Round down}
\]
\[
0.05822 \approx 0.058
\]
