Rounding Decimals to Whole Numbers

The video tutorial explains how rounding simplifies arithmetic by approximating numbers to the nearest whole number. It uses examples like grocery prices to illustrate the concept. The tutorial discusses how decimals influence rounding decisions and demonstrates using a number line to visualize rounding. It concludes with examples of rounding up and down based on the decimal's position relative to the midpoint.

Why is rounding useful when dealing with long numbers?

• It increases the value of numbers.

• It makes numbers more accurate.

• It simplifies calculations.

• It decreases the value of numbers.

What is the first step in rounding a decimal to the nearest whole number?

• Ignore the decimal part.

• Identify the closest whole number.

• Subtract 1 from the whole number.

• Add 1 to the whole number.

How do you determine if a decimal should be rounded up?

• If the decimal is less than 0.5.

• If the decimal is less than 0.25.

• If the decimal is exactly 0.5 or more.

• If the decimal is exactly 0.25.
