Question

What is 1.086 rounded to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

If 1.086 was rounded to the nearest whole number, the correct answer would be 1. Breaking this down, if 1.086 is rounded to 1.09, and then 1.1, this results in an answer of 1 because the number after the decimal would need to be 5 or higher for the whole number answer to be 2.

Answer 2

For this case we have the following number:

1.086

We must remember the following:

If the previous number is greater than or equal to five, the next number changes by one unit.

If the previous number is less than or equal to five, the next number does not change.

Let's round it up part by part.

For the nearest hundredth:

1.086 = 1.09

For the nearest tenth:

1.086 = 1.1

For the nearest whole number:

1.086 = 1

Answer:

1.086 rounded to the nearest whole number is:

1.086 = 1
