Let's solve the rounding problems step by step.

Part 1: Round to the Nearest Whole Number
To round to the nearest whole number, look at the
tenths place (the first digit after the decimal):
- If it’s
5 or greater, round
up.
- If it’s
less than 5, round
down.
---
1)
5.7 → Tenths digit is 7 → round up →
6
2)
2.8 → Tenths digit is 8 → round up →
3
3)
6.5 → Tenths digit is 5 → round up →
7
4)
8.4 → Tenths digit is 4 → round down →
8
5)
1.4 → Tenths digit is 4 → round down →
1
6)
9.0 → Tenths digit is 0 → already a whole number →
9
7)
4.5 → Tenths digit is 5 → round up →
5
8)
2.4 → Tenths digit is 4 → round down →
2
9)
5.7 → Tenths digit is 7 → round up →
6
10)
9.6 → Tenths digit is 6 → round up →
10
11)
12.3 → Tenths digit is 3 → round down →
12
12)
14.1 → Tenths digit is 1 → round down →
14
13)
17.1 → Tenths digit is 1 → round down →
17
14)
26.6 → Tenths digit is 6 → round up →
27
15)
32.5 → Tenths digit is 5 → round up →
33

Part 2: Round to One Decimal Place
To round to one decimal place, look at the
hundredths place (second digit after the decimal):
- If it’s
5 or greater, round the tenths digit
up.
- If it’s
less than 5, keep the tenths digit
same.
---
16)
0.698 → Look at hundredths digit = 9 → round up → 0.7
17)
24.73 → Hundredths digit = 3 → less than 5 → keep →
24.7
18)
3.67 → Hundredths digit = 7 → round up → 3.7
19)
7.53 → Hundredths digit = 3 → less than 5 → keep →
7.5
20)
12.45 → Hundredths digit = 5 → round up → 12.5
