So, you need to round all of these numbers to the nearest whole unit right?

So, 2.42 rounded to the nearest whole number is 2. Since 4 is not enough to make it 3 right?

Great! So now we have the numbers 2,9, and 4, okay? So now we have to multiply them all since they are right beside each other. So what's 2x9x4?
