Question

Round 258.68 to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

259.

Explanation:

All we need to do is,

Look at the number after the decimal place, Check to see if it is greater or less than 5.

Numbers that are less than 5 will be decreased and numbers that are 5 and over will be increased. We have a 6 after the decimal point so we are going to round up.

258.68, The number just before the decimal point is 8. One more than 8 is 9 so our answer will be 259 as a whole number with no decimals!

Hope that helps. x

Answer 2

259

Explanation:

[] To round, you look to the number placed right of the value you are rounding. If it is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If it is less than or equal to 4, the number stays the same.

[] The whole number is the number before the decimal, we will round it off at the ones place.

`258.68\\258.[6]8\\\\6 \geq 5\\\\259`
