Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to, in this case, the tenths place. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is 9, it will become a zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.
Decimals that are less than 0.5 round to zero.
7.2 = 7 ( to nearest whole number).
It is 365986 rounded to the nearest whole number
1,663.2 to the nearest whole number = 1,663
It rounds to zero, as the nearest whole number.
7.71 rounded to the nearest whole number is 8.
If a number is already a whole number, and you are being asked to round it to the nearest whole number, then you don't need to round it anymore, since itself is the nearest whole number.

48.81 will round up to 49.
I think you round it to the nearest whole number...
You see which tick is nearer to the point on the number line.
You can't convert a number with decimals (or a fraction) to a whole number, without losing precision. You can round it to the nearest number, or truncate it (just remove the decimals), but in any case, that won't be the same number (just the nearest integer, in case you choose to round it), so "2.8 as a whole number" really doesn't exist.
Anything between 16.5 and 17.49
A number with decimals (digits after the decimal point) is not equal to ANY whole number. You can round it to the nearest whole number, if you like - that's the closest you can get.
You round .4 .3 .2 and .1 down and .5 .6 .7 .8 and .9 up.
11A whole number is a positive number without decimals. To find the closest whole number version of 10.555, round it to the nearest number. Since 5 and above round up, 10.555 rounds to 11.
The decimals of: 34.5, 34.6, 34.7, 34.8 and 34.9 all round up to 35
When rounding 9.5 to the nearest whole number, you look at the decimal part. Since 0.5 is exactly halfway between 0 and 1, you round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 9.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 10.
