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.

To the nearest whole number, that rounds down to 5.
Any number of 18.5 and greater will round off to 19
You cannot round a whole number like 2298 to the nearest tenth because tenths are used to round decimal numbers. Whole numbers like 2298 do not have tenths.

whole numbers have no part after the decimal point; therefore the answer is 9
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.
You cannot round a whole number like 2298 to the nearest tenth because tenths are used to round decimal numbers. Whole numbers like 2298 do not have tenths.
Some people find it easier to add or subtract whole numbers but yes, you could round to the nearest half.
When rounding to the nearest whatever, half the number round up and half round down. → the numbers that round to 170000 to the nearest 10000 are 170000 ± (10000 ÷ 2) = 170000 ± 5000 However, if a number is exactly half way, the convention is to round them up, so the numbers in the range: 170000 - 5000 ≤ number < 170000 + 5000 → 165000 ≤ number < 175000 will round to 170000 to the nearest 10000 → smallest number is 165000 → biggest [whole] number is 175000 - 1 = 174999

15 is the nearest whole number
The nearest whole number is 1.
