Hi dear!

Number to be rounded off,
2.8962

As '8' is greater than 5, we will add 1 to the number left of '8' which is '2'.

Answer 2

Heya,

ATQ,

2.8962 should be rounded off to the nearest whole number,

So we should consider the number which is after the decimal point (.) that is we should consider 8. Since 8 is greater than 5 we must add to the number which before the decimal point (.) that is 2.

Thus,
2 + 1 = 3 [which is the nearest whole number of 2.8962]

Hope my answer helps you :)
