Question

Round 38.37 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

After the decimal, anything less than 5 in the tens place is rounded down and 5 to 9 means that you round up.

Since the decimal is .37, the tens place (.3) tells us that we need to round down.

So, the nearest whole number is 38.

Answer 2

30

Explanation:

To round 38.37 to the nearest whole number consider the tenths’ value of 38.37, which is 3 and less than 5. Therefore, we have to round down: the whole number ones place value of 38.37, 38, remains 38, and the decimal point and all digits (.37) are removed.

38.37 rounded to the nearest whole number = 38
