Well, darling, 12.5 is smack dab in the middle of 12 and 13, so when rounding to the nearest whole number, you'll be cozying up to good ol' 13. So, 12.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 13. Hope that clears things up for ya!

12.5 to the nearest whole number is 12. When rounding a decimal number to the nearest whole number, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down. In this case, 12.5 is closer to 13 than to 12, so it rounds up to 13.

Oh, dude, 12.5 to the nearest whole number is 12.5. Like, you don't even have to do anything, just leave it as it is. It's already there, chillin' at 12.5.
