It's the nature of rounding. When rounding to the nearest whole number, look at the tenths place. If that digit is 4 or less (like the first number) zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5 or higher, (like the second number) increase the target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out.
5.43 is closer to 5 than to 6.
4.68 is closer to 5 than to 4.
