What is 986.91 to the nearest whole number?

A whole number has no decimal places, so you'll be rounding to the ones place. The digit after the 6 in the ones place is greater than 5, so the number 6 is rounded up to 7. Therefore, the nearest whole number is 987.


What is the whole number 60.82?

look to the place value just to the right of the one asked for...the whole number. "One whole" is "0," or the number in the "ones place..." The rule for rounding states that you must look one place value to the right (8) and decide whether that number is 5 or more (which it is). therefore, we round the "ones place" UP one digit to a "1." 60.82 rounded to the nearest whole number is 61, or 61.00.

Is it true or false that all numbers with a 0 in the ones' place are composite numbers?

It is true (as long as there are no decimal places after the ones place) because those numbers will always be divisible by 2, 5, and 10. With exception of the number zero which is neither prime nor composite.


Does rounding to the nearest whole number mean rounding to the ones place?

Yes if the number includes decimals
