to round mixed numbers to the nearest half...........
1st you just leave the whole number alone. then on the fraction you decide if it rounds to 0 1/2 or 1 then what ever answer you get you put it with the whole number.
Example: 3 5/8
5/8= 1/2 because 4 is half of 8 and 5 is the closest you can get to 8
so then you take that 1/2 and put it with the 3. so then your answer will be
3 1/2
Hope this helps!! :)

What are 2 mixed numbers such that when you estimate their sum by rounding to the nearest whole number you get a different estimate than when you round to the nearest half?
1 and 1/3 + 1 and 1/3.Rounded to the nearest whole and added together: give 1 + 1 = 2Rounded to the nearest half and added together: give 1.5 + 1.5 = 3

What is the biggest number that rounds to 8000 to the nearest thousand?
When rounding to the nearest thousand, half round up and half round down.Half of 1000 is 500 → numbers that are 8000 ± 500, that is 7500 to 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.However, numbers half way by convention round up and 8500 is half way between 8000 & 9000 and so would round up to 9000.Thus numbers greater than or equal to 7500 and less than 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.Therefore the largest whole number that will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000 is 8499.
When rounding to the nearest thousand what is the greatest number that rounds to 5000?
Half of 1000 is 500, so numbers in the range 5000 ± 500 round to 5000 to the nearest 1000 EXCEPT that numbers exactly half way round up. ie numbers greater than or equal to 5000 - 500 = 4500 and less than 5000 + 500 = 5500 will round to 5000 to the nearest 1000. So the largest whole number that rounds to 5000 to the nearest 1000 is 5500 - 1 = 5499.
What is the largest 5-digit number which rounds to 27 000 to the nearest thousand?
When rounding to the nearest thousand (1000), half the numbers (1000 ÷ 2 = 500) round up, and the other half round down - except for those which are exactly half-way: they round up. Thus the largest number that will round to 27,000 to the nearest thousand must round down to it and is 27,000 + 500 - 1 = 27,499.

Does two thirds round to one half or one?
If you are rounding to the nearest one, 2/3 rounds to 1. If you are rounding to the nearest half, 2/3 rounds to 1/2 4/6 is closer to 3/6 than it is to 6/6
Why does it make sense to round a mixed number to the nearest whole number when estimating a sum or difference Could you round to the nearest one half instead?
Some people find it easier to add or subtract whole numbers but yes, you could round to the nearest half.
Can an object that when measured to the nearest quarter inch have a different length then when measured to the nearest half inch?
Yes, of course, you lose more precision if you round to a half inch. Try rounding 0.76 to the nearest half unit, and to the nearest quarter unit, and see what happens.
What is the biggest number that rounds to 8000 to the nearest thousand?
When rounding to the nearest thousand, half round up and half round down.Half of 1000 is 500 → numbers that are 8000 ± 500, that is 7500 to 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.However, numbers half way by convention round up and 8500 is half way between 8000 & 9000 and so would round up to 9000.Thus numbers greater than or equal to 7500 and less than 8500 will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000.Therefore the largest whole number that will round to 8000 to the nearest 1000 is 8499.
