Question

6 5/8 rounded to the nearest half

Answer 1

6
`(4)/(8)` simplified to 6
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Hey, Ace here!

So we have to round 6
`(5)/(8)` to the nearest half

So we look at the denominator.

What is half of 8?

4 of course.

So that means that one of the answers could be 6
`(4)/(8)`

But since a half + a half = a whole (1), a half could also be a whole number.

So that means the answer could either be 6
`(4)/(8)` or 7

Which one is 6
`(5)/(8)` closer to?

It's closer to 6
`(4)/(8)`
