To round to a whole number you're going to round to the nearest number with no decimal. For a half number you will have a number that ends in .5 or with no decimal.
Examples;
56.893 rounded to the nearest whole number is 57
56.893 is closest to 56 and 57. It is .893 away from 56, but is only .107 away from 57 so, 57 is the nearest whole number.
56.893 rounded to the nearest half number is also 57
The two half numbers that are near 56.893 are 56.5 and 57, but 56.893 is .393 away from 56.5 and only .107 away from 57 so, 57 is the nearer whole number.

What is the biggest number that rounds to 8000 to the nearest thousand?
When rounding to the nearest thousand, half round up and half round down.Half of 1000 is 500 → numbers that are 8000 ± 500, that is 7500 to 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.However, numbers half way by convention round up and 8500 is half way between 8000 & 9000 and so would round up to 9000.Thus numbers greater than or equal to 7500 and less than 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.Therefore the largest whole number that will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000 is 8499.

What are 2 mixed numbers such that when you estimate their sum by rounding to the nearest whole number you get a different estimate than when you round to the nearest half?
1 and 1/3 + 1 and 1/3.Rounded to the nearest whole and added together: give 1 + 1 = 2Rounded to the nearest half and added together: give 1.5 + 1.5 = 3
Why does it make sense to round a mixed number to the nearest whole number when estimating a sum or difference Could you round to the nearest one half instead?
Some people find it easier to add or subtract whole numbers but yes, you could round to the nearest half.

What are the smallest and biggest whole numbers that round to 170000 to nearest 10000?
When rounding to the nearest whatever, half the number round up and half round down. → the numbers that round to 170000 to the nearest 10000 are 170000 ± (10000 ÷ 2) = 170000 ± 5000 However, if a number is exactly half way, the convention is to round them up, so the numbers in the range: 170000 - 5000 ≤ number < 170000 + 5000 → 165000 ≤ number < 175000 will round to 170000 to the nearest 10000 → smallest number is 165000 → biggest [whole] number is 175000 - 1 = 174999
If you had the number 353.25ft how would you round that number to the nearest whole foot?
To round a number to the nearest whole number, you round down if the number after the decimal place is less than 5, that is, if it is less than half a unit. If the number after the decimal place is 5 or more, you round up. So 353.25 ft is 353 to the nearest ft. Thanks so much!!!

What is the nearest whole number to sixty-seven and nine-tenths?
To get the nearest whole number you first write the number of units you have. In this case, that number is 67. The next step is to look at the fraction and ask if it's greater than or equal to a half, in which case you round down. Otherwise, you round up. In this case, we have nine tenths, which is greater than a half, so you round 67 up to 68. Thus, the nearest whole number to 67 and 9/10 is 68.
