Answer 1

Look at the decimal/fraction.

If it's greater than 0.5, you round up.
If it's less than 0.5, you round down.

You're given 5/8.
Hint: 4/8 = 0.5

Answer 2

i dont get it

Answer 3

disregard the whole number for now and just concentrate on the 5/8. You have to determine if 5/8 is equal to or greater then 1/2 or 0.5. Because if it is greater then or equal to 1/2, then u would round ur whole number up...but if it less then 1/2, ur whole number would stay the same. Do u understand now ?
