Question

Aubrey has 25 bracelets. She wants to divide among her 4 friends. What is the rounded number of bracelets Aubrey should give them?

Answer 1

ANSWER

6

EXPLANATION

Aubrey has 25 bracelets.

To divide it among her 4 friends, she has to divide the number of bracelets she has by 4.

That is:

$\frac{25}{4}\text{ = 6.25}$

Because number of bracelets can only be a whole number, we have to look for the whole number that is closest to 6.25 and lower than it.

To do that, we round down:

$6.25\text{ }\cong6$

So, the rounded number of bracelets that Aubrey should give them is 6.
