What is 10.25 to its nearest whole number?

Answer 1

10.25 to its nearest whole number would be 10. When rounding a decimal number to the nearest whole number, you look at the first decimal place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down. In this case, the first decimal place is 2, which is less than 5, so 10.25 rounded to the nearest whole number is 10.

Answer 2

Think about it. 10.25 is between 10 and 11. Is it closer to 10, or closer to 11? If the answer isn't immediately obvious to you, calculate the differences: 10.25 minus 10, and 11 minus 10.25. See which one is less.
