Round to the nearest whole number 3.713 divided by 0.413

Answer 1

After the division, we get 8.99031476998. This rounds to 9 as a whole number, which is the answer.

When rounding to a whole number, the digits following the decimal decide what number it rounds to. If it is 0-4 it rounds to whatever the whole number currently is E.G.

8.1 would round to 8

But if its 5-9 it rounds to one above, like in our current case.

8.5 rounds to 9.

42.414 rounds to 42.

42.94149124 rounds to 43.
