Question

What is 8.571 to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

It's 9. The number after the decimal point determines if you round it up or down. If the number (in your case, 5) is lower than 5, you have to round down. If it's 5 or up, you round up.

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

8.571

The 8 is in the ones place.

First, change all digits after the 8 to 0.

8.000

If the first digit you dropped is from 5 to 9, the last digit you keep goes up by 1. Since the first digit to the right of the 8 is 5, the 8 goes up by 1.

9.000

The answer is 9.
