#75.448#

Explanation:

Given:#" "color(green)(75.447)color(red)(8)#

This is the same as:

#color(green)(75/1+4/10+4/100+7/1000)color(red)(+8/10000)#

We are looking at the #7/1000#

The trigger is: if the next numerator (decimal value) is less than 5 we do not change the 7 in #7/1000# and any digits to its right are considered as zero so we would have: #75.447#

However; the trigger value to the right of #color(green)(7/1000)# is #color(red)(8)#. As this satisfies the condition of 'equal to or more than 5' we round the 7 up by 1 digit. So we end up with:

#75.448#
