22/7*7957.7 = 25009.91 Well round up to the nearest mile. I don't understand what does it mean

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

Do you know what rounding means?

OpenStudy (kevin):

I know

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

What is it you don't understand?

OpenStudy (kevin):

25009.91 -> 25010 Okay???????? :)
