Would you rather round 3.7994 up or down?

You would normally round 3.7994 up to 4 as it is the nearest whole number. 3 + 0.7994 = 3.7994 4 - 0.2006 = 3.7994 0.7994 is bigger than 0.2006 so 3.7994 is closer to 4 than 3. I might "rather" round it down than up but normal practice in most situations is to round to the nearest whole number.
