Say you have the fraction 2/7.
that would round to zero.
What if you have 3/5?
That could equal 1 or 1/2.
People do it all differently, so there is actually no correct answer.
Ask your teacher if your answer is correct. If your answer is pretty close, that could be correct to others.

The rule of thumb is: If the remainder is half again, or more, you round up. If it's less than half again, you round down. For example: 250.4 rounds down to 250. 250.6 rounds up to 251.
How do you round off mixed numbers?
As in, 4½ Halfs and greater round up Less than half round down Just like with anything else. When going from one fraction to a certain type of fraction you just go by how close it is to the next interval. For example: 5¾ rounded to the nearest seventh would take some imagining 5¾ = 5 and 5.25/7 so you don't want that decimal in your fraction you round DOWN to the 5 because it is under half. Thus it is 5 and 5/7 And = denoting a decimal/fraction, 34.5 = 34 and 5 It seems unlikely you will be needing to know how to round mixed numbers anyways.
