When we are looking at rounding, we round to the number that our fraction or decimal is located. So, since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, given our original mixed number (
) our answer will be either 7 or 8.
We can change to a decimal to equal 7.8 by multiplying both our denominator and our numerator by 2 since 5 * 2 =10, which would change our fraction to 
which is the same thing as .8
If we look at 7.8 and want to know if it is closer to 8 or 7, we just remember that when rounding, if it is 5 or above, you round up, anything else, you leave the number in front of it like it is. .8 is above 5 so we round 7 to the whole number 8. So, our answer is 8
