Question

What is 52.81 rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

Answer:

$52.81\approx 53$ to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given decimal is $52.81$.

We want to round the given decimal to the nearest whole number.

We need to consider the unit digit which is $2$.

We then check to see if the number in the tenth position or the first number after the decimal point is greater than or equal to 5.

That number is 8, which is actually greater 5.

So we add 1 to the unit digit to get $53$.

Answer 2

The answer would be 53.
