Question

Round 287.9412 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 401

If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30

As you can see these are some basic rules for rounding. Now if we apply them we can see the number rounds off to 288. As it is the nearest whole number.
