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.

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.
