Answer:

The length of Gabi's footprint rounded to the nearest whole number is 7 inches.

Explanation:

The whole number is the first number to the left of the decimal point.

For 7.28, 7 is the whole number.

Rounding notes:

If the number rounded (7) has a number to the left (2) that is greater than 5, (7) increases +1.

If the number rounded (7) has a number to the left (2) that is less than 5, (7) doesn't change. Anything to the left of 7 changes to 0.

Using our notes, we can determine that 2 is less than 5, therefore 7.00 inches is your answer.
