The answer would be 16 because

  • if the last digit is a 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the previous digit is left unchanged and the number is said to be rounded down;for example, 296.2 rounded to the nearest whole number is 296
  • if the last digit is a 6, 7, 8 or 9 then the previous digit is increased by 1 and the number is said to be rounded up; for example, 296.8 rounded to the nearest whole number is 297

When rounding 16.3 to the nearest whole number, you look at the digit in the tenths place, which is 3. Since 3 is less than 5, you would round down. Therefore, 16.3 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16.

Well, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of numbers. When we look at 16.3, we see it's closer to 16 than 17. So, when we round it to the nearest whole number, it becomes 16. Just a little adjustment can bring us closer to a whole new perspective.

Well, darling, 16.3 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16. It's not rocket science, just chop off that decimal and call it a day. Math can be a real snoozefest, but at least this one's a piece of cake.
