To round each number to the nearest whole number, you follow these steps:
1. Identify the digit in the tenths place, which is the first digit to the right of the decimal point.
2. Determine whether the number in the tenths place is 5 or greater or less than 5.
- If it is 5 or greater, round up.
- If it is less than 5, round down.
Let's apply these steps to each number:
1. [tex]$1.44$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 4.
- Since 4 is less than 5, round down.
- [tex]$1.44$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$1$[/tex].
2. [tex]$6.234$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 2.
- Since 2 is less than 5, round down.
- [tex]$6.234$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$6$[/tex].
3. [tex]$36.87$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 8.
- Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, round up.
- [tex]$36.87$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$37$[/tex].
4. [tex]$19.67$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 6.
- Since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, round up.
- [tex]$19.67$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$20$[/tex].
5. [tex]$91.921$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 9.
- Since 9 is greater than or equal to 5, round up.
- [tex]$91.921$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$92$[/tex].
6. [tex]$15.014$[/tex]
- The digit in the tenths place is 0.
- Since 0 is less than 5, round down.
- [tex]$15.014$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$15$[/tex].
After rounding each number to the nearest whole number, the results are:
1) [tex]$1.44$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$1$[/tex]
2) [tex]$6.234$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$6$[/tex]
3) [tex]$36.87$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$37$[/tex]
4) [tex]$19.67$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$20$[/tex]
5) [tex]$91.921$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$92$[/tex]
6) [tex]$15.014$[/tex] rounds to [tex]$15$[/tex]
