Question

Explain how 17.526 could be rounded to both 18 and 17.5.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you round it to the nearest whole number, then 17.526 becomes 18 because if the first digit after the decimal(in this case,5) is 5 or greater you round to the next whole number.

If you round it to the nearest tenth, it would result in 17.5, because if the second digit after the decimal (in this case, 2) is 5 or greater you round to the next tenth of decimal.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

It can be rounded down to 17.5 if rounding to 1 decimal place. If you are rounding to the nearest whole number, you would round to 18.
