What is 7.5 as a whole number?

Answer 1

Do you see that part of it after the 7 ? The part that reads " .5 " ?

That part means "one half" ... just a piece of a whole number.

" 7.5 " has a whole-number part and a piece-of-a-number part. There's nothing

you can do to it to make it just a whole number without an extra piece.

Answer 2

As a whole number, 7.5 would be rounded down to 7. Whole numbers do not include decimal or fractional parts, so any number with a decimal component is not considered a whole number. In mathematics, whole numbers are typically defined as non-negative integers, including zero.

Answer 3

It can be rounded up to 1 as a whole number
