Change the fraction part into a decimal. If the decimal is great than or equal to 0.5, round the whole number up. If it is lower, than drop the fraction altogether.

Ex: 6 2/3

2/3 = .666

.666 > .5

6 2/3 rounded to the nearest whole number is 7.

How do you round when a mixed number is halfway between two whole numbers?

I assume in your question you are asking what happens when a number is in between two whole numbers. E.G 4 and 5 the middle is 4.5 If you wanted to round this up to 1 significant figure or an integer/whole number the rule is that if in the middle you always round up to the highest number. In the case of the example the answer would be 5 if you were to round it up.
