Answer 3

could you explain?

Answer 4

First, let's remember how rounding works.
If a number has half a unit or more as its decimal part, it rounds to the next number up.
It is easier to see this with decimals.
Example: Round 4.8 to the nearest whole number.
Answer: 5. Since 0.8 is 0.5 or higher, 4.8 goes up to 5.

Answer 5

Example 2: Round 6.2 to the nearest whole number.
Answer: 6; since 0.2 is less that 0.5, 6.2 rounds down to 6

Answer 6

Do you understand the two examples?

Answer 7

yes, it seams simple when you explain it but how would i change the fractions for my question into a decimal i never was tough how...

Answer 8

Now let's look at your question.
Each number is a mixed numeral consisting of a whole number and a fraction.
If the fraction is half or more, you round up to the next higher whole number.
If the fraction is less than half, then you just drop the fraction.

Answer 9

You can change the fractions into decimals, but you don't need to. There is a quick way of doing this without changing any fraction.

Answer 10

Look at the fraction 1/2.
If you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number you get an equivalent fraction that also is equal to 1/2 even though it looks different.
