Question

16.827 to the nearest whole.

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

We want to round 16.827 to the nearest whole number.

When we round a number to the nearest place value, we always look at the digit in the place value to its right.

Here, we're technically rounding to the nearest ones place, so look at the tenths place. It's an 8. Remember that we round up if the digit is 5-9 and round down if the digit is 0-4.

Since it's 8, we round up. Thus, 16.827 rounds up to 17.
