Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Write as a decimal

7 1/2 would be written as ~7.0833

Rounding a decimal to the nearest whole number

If you have a decimal that is greater than or equal to 5 in the tenths place then you round up. Ex: 5.8 would be rounded to 6, 1.5 would be rounded to 2.

If you have a decimal that is less than or equal to 4 in the tenths place then you round down. Ex: 5.1 would be rounded 5, 1.2 would be rounded to 1.

Since 0 is in the tenth’s place we round down to 7.
