What is 10.25 to its nearest whole number?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
