7/9 is approximately 0.78
2/11 is approximately 0.18
So do we round up or down with 7/9?
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
up
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, So 1 7/9 rounds to 2.
What about 2/11?
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
up? :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the fraction is 1/2 or greater round up
If it is less than 1/2 round down
So if you had\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
You would round to 3 because 1/2 is less than 1/2

***Becaus 1/4 is less than 1/2
OpenStudy (igreen):
No..
0.18
If the number after the decimal place is 5 or more, we round up. If it is 4 or less we round down.
So do we round up or down?

OpenStudy (igreen):
Yes, and is that 5 or more or is it 4 or less?
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
4 or less
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yes, so we round down to 0.
So -6 2/11 rounds down to -6.
Now subtract 2 - 6
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
