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?
