Question

What is 58.6 rounded to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer: Hello there!

We have the number 58.6, and we want to round it to the nearest whole number, where a whole number is a number that only has zeros after the decimal point.

suppose that we have the number x.y where the dot is a decimal point.

if y is a number between 0 and 4, we need to round down; then the rounded whole number is x

if y is a number between 5 and 9, we need to round up, now our number will be (x +1)

In this case, we have 58.6

the number after the decimal point is 6, then we need to round up:

now we have: 58 + 1 = 59

Answer 2

It would be 59 if you are rounding to the one's nearest whole's number.
