When rounding a decimal number to a whole number, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down. In this case, 40.5 has a 5 in the tenths place, so it rounds up to 41 as a whole number.

Well, isn't that a happy little number! 40.5 is right in the middle between 40 and 41. When we round it to a whole number, we round down to 40. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes we have to make choices that bring harmony and balance to our numbers.

Oh, dude, 40.5 rounded to a whole number is 40. It's like taking that half and being like, "Nah, you're not important enough to bump up to the next level." So yeah, 40 it is.
