8.9 to the nearest whole number is 9. When rounding a decimal number to the nearest whole number, you look at the digit 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, 8.9 is closer to 9 than to 8, so it rounds up to 9.

Since the first number after the decimal is 5 or greater ( in your case 9) then you round the number before the decimal ( in your case 8) to the next whole number.

So the answer is 9

round 6.4 to the nearest whole number

Well, darling, 8.9 rounded to the nearest whole number is 9. It's not rocket science, just a little math magic. So, there you have it, 8.9 gets to cozy up to 9 when we round it off.

Oh, dude, 8.9 to the nearest whole number is like 9. I mean, it's literally just rounding it up because 8.9 is closer to 9 than it is to 8. So yeah, round up and call it a day.
