Question

Round 2 5/6 to the nearest half

Answer 1

(2 5/6):2 = (2 5/6) * 1/2 = (12/6 + 5/6)*1/2 = 17/6*1/2 = 17/12 = 1 5/12

Answer 2

To round 2 5/6 to the nearest half, think about it like this:
Is 2 5/6 closer to 2 1/2, or 3?

2 3/6 is equal to 2 1/2.

Because 2 5/6 is closer to 3 then to 2 3/6, you would round 2 5/6 to 3.
