Question

Round the fraction 7 4/5 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Im not sure if you are saying 74/5 or 7 and 4 fifths but in the case you'r saying 74/5 you would first round to see the highest number that 5 can go to without being a decimal. Which would be 70 so you would count how many times 5 can go into 70, which would be 14, so the left over is 4/5 so you would check to see if it can be simplified which it can't so the final answer is 14 and 4/5

Answer 2

The correct answer is: 8

Explanation:

Given mixed number:

$7\frac{4}{5}$

In order to convert a mixed number into a decimal number, follow the steps mentioned below:

Multiple 7 with 5 and add the numerator to the answer you get by multiplying 7 with 5. After that, write that result in the numerator and divide it with 5:

Step-1:

Multiply 7 with 5.

7*5 = 35

Step-2:

Add numerator value, which is 4 in this case, in 35

35 + 4 = 39

Step-3:

Rewrite the fraction.

$\frac{39}{5}$

Step-4:

Calculate.

$\frac{39}{5} = 7.8$

Now, as the number at the tenth place after the decimal point is greater than 5, we have to round it off to 8.0.

Hence the correct answer is 8.
