DOES 7 3/10 ROUND TO 7 WHEN ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 7

1 answer

When rounding to the nearest whole number, we consider the decimal part. The number 7 3/10 (which is equivalent to 7.3) has a decimal part of 0.3.

When rounding:

  • If the decimal part is less than 0.5, we round down.
  • If the decimal part is 0.5 or more, we round up.

Since 0.3 is less than 0.5, 7 3/10 rounds down to 7.

So, yes, 7 3/10 rounds to 7 when rounded to the nearest whole number.
