Rounding decimals worksheet for practicing rounding to the nearest whole number.

Let's solve the rounding decimal problems step by step.

Understanding the Task

We are asked to round each decimal to the nearest whole number. This means:

- Look at the tenths place (the first digit after the decimal point).
- If it is 5 or greater, round up.
- If it is less than 5, round down.

For example:
- 3.4 → tenths digit is 4 (< 5) → rounds down to 3
- 5.7 → tenths digit is 7 (≥ 5) → rounds up to 6

Part 1: Round to the nearest whole number

#### First set:
| Number | Rounded |
|--------|--------|
| 6.2 | 6 |
| 2.9 | 3 |
| 5.3 | 5 |
| 5.4 | 5 |
| 1.1 | 1 |
| 4.7 | 5 |

> Explanation:
- 6.2 → 6 (tenths = 2 < 5)
- 2.9 → 3 (tenths = 9 ≥ 5)
- 5.3 → 5 (tenths = 3 < 5)
- 5.4 → 5 (tenths = 4 < 5)
- 1.1 → 1 (tenths = 1 < 5)
- 4.7 → 5 (tenths = 7 ≥ 5)

#### Second set:
| Number | Rounded |
|--------|--------|
| 14.8 | 15 |
| 29.9 | 30 |
| 18.2 | 18 |
| 40.1 | 40 |
| 29.8 | 30 |

> Explanation:
- 14.8 → 15 (tenths = 8 ≥ 5)
- 29.9 → 30 (tenths = 9 ≥ 5)
- 18.2 → 18 (tenths = 2 < 5)
- 40.1 → 40 (tenths = 1 < 5)
- 29.8 → 30 (tenths = 8 ≥ 5)

---

#### Third set:
| Number | Rounded |
|--------|--------|
| 157.6 | 158 |
| 491.4 | 491 |
| 119.5 | 120 |
| 802.4 | 802 |
| 214.4 | 214 |

> Explanation:
- 157.6 → 158 (tenths = 6 ≥ 5)
- 491.4 → 491 (tenths = 4 < 5)
- 119.5 → 120 (tenths = 5 → round up)
- 802.4 → 802 (tenths = 4 < 5)
- 214.4 → 214 (tenths = 4 < 5)

✔ Final Answers:

#### First Table:
```
6.2 → 6
2.9 → 3
5.3 → 5
5.4 → 5
1.1 → 1
4.7 → 5
```

#### Second Table:
```
14.8 → 15
29.9 → 30
18.2 → 18
40.1 → 40
29.8 → 30
```

#### Third Table:
```
157.6 → 158
491.4 → 491
119.5 → 120
802.4 → 802
214.4 → 214
```

🔍 Special Note:

The instruction says:
> "If the whole number has a 5, round it to the whole number above."

This refers to when the tenths digit is exactly 5, we round up — which is standard rounding rule.

For example:
- 119.5 → 120 (because 5 in tenths → round up)
