Question

Sarah cat weights 15.7 pounds. What is the number to the nearest pound

Answer 1

To find the nearest pound the number that is to the left is what you need to look at.

In this case the number is 7

Since the number 7 is bigger than 5 it rounds up. If the number was less than 5 it will round down.

Since number 7 is bigger than 5 it rounds up as said before, therefore Sarah's cat weighs 16 pounds.

Hope this helped! :D

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

if you round up 15.7 you get 16. This is because .7 is above .5, whereas if Sarah's cat weighed 15.3 it would be 15.

The answer is 16.
