Decimal Point Truncations?

Hello,

I'm having a problem truncating decimals. Can anyone help?

Example:

set diskSize to free space of startup disk
--> script code to recalculate diskSize variable to Gb <--
display dialog diskSize

I want to get the disk size and display the result in Gb with one decimal
place (If possible). Currently, the full code above gets something like
54.6464646748783838. I would like it to display 54.6. I've tried rounding
and it returns the same 54.6464646748783838 for some reason that escapes me.

As always, thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Greg Smith
