Question

Round 219.2 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

❄ Hi there,

let us revise the two rounding rules before getting down to the actual process of rounding.

$\sf{Rules:}$

• If the number you ought to round to is followed by a number from 0 to 4, you round down, or in other words, just drop that number.
• If the number you ought to round to is followed by a number that's 5 or more, you add 1 to that number.

Let's see these rules in action!

The number is – $219.2$.

Nearest whole number – $219$, which is followed by a number between 0 and 4, so we just drop that number :

$\sf{219.2- > > 219}$
