Question

Down to the nearest whole number 8.36

Answer 1

The 3 is less than 4 so u go down to the 10th so that would just be 8

Answer 2

First we take the number as it is. Second, we look at the last number. 6 is rounds up to ten which rounds the 3 up to a 4. So now we come up with 8.4, but that isn't a whole number. We can then round 4 to 0 because it's closer to 0 on a number line. Now, our answer is 8.0, but, in order to have a whole number, we can't have any decimals. we can, then, take away the 0 and the decimal, which leaves us 8, and 8 is a whole number; we can now say the answer is 8. :)
