How do you round \(5 \frac{1}{8}\) to the nearest whole number?

I would round to 5 because its value is closer to 5 than to 6.

To round 5 8 1 ​ to the nearest whole number, first convert the fraction 8 1 ​ to its decimal form, which is 0.125 . Since 0.125 is less than 0.5, we round down to 5. Therefore, 5 8 1 ​ rounds to 5.
