To round decimal numbers to their nearest whole number, we follow a simple rule based on the digit in the tenths place:
If the tenths digit is 5 or greater, we round up the whole number by 1.
If the tenths digit is less than 5, we keep the whole number the same.
Let's apply this rule to the numbers you've provided:
2.94 : The tenths digit is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 3 .
34.33 : The tenths digit is 3, which is less than 5, so we keep it as is. The nearest whole number is 34 .
44.9 : The tenths digit is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 45 .
17.723 : The tenths digit is 7, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 18 .
59.04 : The tenths digit is 0, which is less than 5, so we keep it as is. The nearest whole number is 59 .
119.6 : The tenths digit is 6, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 120 .
39.672 : The tenths digit is 6, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 40 .
88.667 : The tenths digit is 6, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 89 .
68.841 : The tenths digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 69 .
0.993 : The tenths digit is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 1 .
1.137 : The tenths digit is 1, which is less than 5, so we keep it as is. The nearest whole number is 1 .
80.82 : The tenths digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 81 .
9.762 : The tenths digit is 7, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 10 .
72.93 : The tenths digit is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 73 .
8.72 : The tenths digit is 7, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 9 .
96.6794 : The tenths digit is 6, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 97 .
3.898 : The tenths digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 4 .
2.93 : The tenths digit is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. The nearest whole number is 3 .
I hope this helps you understand how to round decimal numbers to the nearest whole number!
To round decimal numbers to the nearest whole number, check the tenths digit. If it's 5 or greater, round up; if less than 5, keep the whole number. Applying this rule to your numbers gives specific rounded results for each one.
