The Nearest Whole Number Is 20. 0.05 Is Closer To Zero Than 1, So 20.05 Is Closer To 20 Than 21.

20 would be the nearest whole number as 0.05 is less than 0.5, meaning it should be rounded down. As it is a WHOLE number, there shouldn't be a decimal. 0.5 to the nearest whole number would round up to 1 (5 rounds up). 10.2 would round down to 10 as 0.2 is less than 0.5.

Hope this helps!
