## ✔ PART 1: Round these numbers to the nearest whole number

The rule for rounding to the nearest whole number:
- Look at the tenths digit (the first digit after the decimal point).
- If it’s 5 or greater, round up.
- If it’s 4 or less, round down (keep the whole number the same).

Let’s go one by one:

---

1) 5.7 → 6

*(Tenths digit is 7 → round up)*

2) 2.8 → 3

*(8 ≥ 5 → round up)*

3) 6.5 → 7

*(5 → round up)*

4) 8.4 → 8

*(4 < 5 → round down)*

5) 1.4 → 1

*(4 < 5 → round down)*

6) 9.0 → 9

*(0 < 5 → stays 9)*

7) 4.5 → 5

*(5 → round up)*

8) 2.4 → 2

*(4 < 5 → round down)*

9) 5.7 → 6

*(7 ≥ 5 → round up)*

10) 9.6 → 10

*(6 ≥ 5 → round up)*

11) 12.3 → 12

*(3 < 5 → round down)*

12) 14.1 → 14

*(1 < 5 → round down)*

13) 17.1 → 17

*(1 < 5 → round down)*

14) 26.6 → 27

*(6 ≥ 5 → round up)*

15) 32.5 → 33

*(5 → round up)*

16) 22.4 → 22

*(4 < 5 → round down)*

17) 14.8 → 15

*(8 ≥ 5 → round up)*

18) 40.6 → 41

*(6 ≥ 5 → round up)*

19) 9.6 → 10

*(6 ≥ 5 → round up)*

20) 63.4 → 63

*(4 < 5 → round down)*

21) 35.3 → 35

*(3 < 5 → round down)*

22) 4.37 → 4

*(Tenths digit is 3 → round down. Ignore hundredths — we only look at tenths for rounding to whole number.)*

23) 8.72 → 9

*(Tenths digit is 7 → round up)*

24) 2.48 → 2

*(Tenths digit is 4 → round down)*

## ✔ PART 2: Draw an arrow to match each number to its nearest whole

We have this list of decimals on the left and right, and a column of whole numbers from 1 to 9 in the middle.

We need to match each decimal to its nearest whole number.

Let’s do them one by one:

---

Left side:

- 3.6 → Tenths = 6 → round up → 4 *(Already shown with arrow)*
- 2.4 → Tenths = 4 → round down → 2
- 4.8 → Tenths = 8 → round up → 5
- 9.17 → Tenths = 1 → round down → 9
- 7.5 → Tenths = 5 → round up → 8

---

Right side:

- 0.6 → Tenths = 6 → round up → 1
- 5.5 → Tenths = 5 → round up → 6
- 3.29 → Tenths = 2 → round down → 3
- 6.55 → Tenths = 5 → round up → 7

---

✔ Matching Summary:

| Decimal | Nearest Whole |
|---------|----------------|
| 3.6 | 4 |
| 2.4 | 2 |
| 4.8 | 5 |
| 9.17 | 9 |
| 7.5 | 8 |
| 0.6 | 1 |
| 5.5 | 6 |
| 3.29 | 3 |
| 6.55 | 7 |
