Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re rounding to the
nearest whole number.
Here’s the rule:
👉 Look at the digit right after the decimal point (the tenths place).
- If it’s
5 or more, round
up.
- If it’s
4 or less, round
down (keep the whole number as is).
---
a. 1.6 → The tenths digit is 6 → 6 ≥ 5 → Round up →
2
b. 0.6 → Tenths digit is 6 → Round up →
1
c. 4.6 → Tenths digit is 6 → Round up →
5
d. 7.8 → Tenths digit is 8 → Round up →
8
e. 8.3 → Tenths digit is 3 → 3 < 5 → Round down →
8
f. 2.72 → Tenths digit is 7 → Round up →
3
g. 3.31 → Tenths digit is 3 → Round down →
3
h. 5.61 → Tenths digit is 6 → Round up →
6
i. 8.38 → Tenths digit is 3 → Round down →
8
j. 9.81 → Tenths digit is 8 → Round up →
