Question

6 5/8 rounded to the nearest half

Answer 1

Answer:

6$\frac{4}{8}$ simplified to 6$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, Ace here!

So we have to round 6$\frac{5}{8}$ to the nearest half

So we look at the denominator.

What is half of 8?

4 of course.

So that means that one of the answers could be 6$\frac{4}{8}$

But since a half + a half = a whole (1), a half could also be a whole number.

So that means the answer could either be 6$\frac{4}{8}$ or 7

Which one is 6$\frac{5}{8}$ closer to?

It's closer to 6$\frac{4}{8}$
