OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly speaking

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, is 2 closer to 7 or 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 i hope

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yea, so that means that we will round down to 0, because 2 is closer to zero

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so now we have 3/4, we need to round that, we can either turn it into a decimal, or just look at it to see if it is closer to 0 or 1
