Please answer in Step by step solution

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules for rounding decimals to the nearest whole number:

● To round a decimal to the nearest whole number analyse the digit at the first decimal place i.e., tenths place.

● If the tenths place value is 5 or greater than 5, then the digit at the ones place increases by 1 and the digits at the tenths place and thereafter becomes 0.

For example;

(i) 9.63 →

In 9.63 analyse the digit at the tenths place. Here 6 is more than 5. Therefore we have to round the number up to the nearest whole number 10.

(ii) 78.537 →

In 78.537 analyse the digit at the tenths place. Here 5 is equal to 5. Therefore we have to round the number up to the nearest whole number 79.
