Question

A king cobra is 4.237 meters long. Round the length tothe nearest meter

Answer 1

The nearest meter is 4 meters because the 7 would round the 3 to a 4, but a 4 wouldn't round up the 2. Even if the 4 rounded up the 2 to a 3, it still wouldn't be enough to round the 4 up to a 5. In other words, 4 and below will not round up anything, but a 5 or above will round up anything (as far as basics go).

Answer 2

Answer:

The length to the nearest meter is 4 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A king cobra is 4.237 meters long.

We need to round it to the nearest meter. That means we need to round it to the nearest integer.

The rule of rounding a number is:

If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 follow the number, then no need to change the rounding digit.

If 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 follow the number, round it up by one digit.

Now consider the number.

At the tenths place the number is 2.

So don't need to change the rounding digit.

Hence, the length to the nearest meter is 4 meter.
