Question

Is 5.4967 closer to 5.49 or 5.5

Answer 1

It is closer to 5.5

Explanation:

The number after 9 is a 6 which will be rounded up. so you will have 5.5.

Answer 2

5.5

Explanation:

When rounding, if the decimals or whatever your rounding are 5 or higher, you round up. Lower than 5 (4, 3, 2, 1) you round down. We're focusing on the thousands and ten thousands place numbers here (the 0.67 in the decimal.) as we're rounding between 5.49 and 5.5.

.67 is equal to or HIGHER than .50 obviously; so your answer is 5.5.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!
