Question

Round 3.060 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

The nearest whole number in this case would be 3 :)

Answer 2

When we have a decimal number, in order to convert it to a whole number, we need to check the value at the one-tenths place.

If the number at one-tenths place is 5 or greater than 5, then we increase the whole number by 1

If the number at one-tenths place is less than 5, we keep it same.

Let us check for our question now.

We are given 3.060.

Here we have 0 at one tenth place 3.060.

0 is less than 5.

So our whole number remains 3.

Answer : 3.060 becomes 3 after rounding.
