W.A.L.T : Round A Fraction To The Nearest Whole
Yesterday I learned to round fractions of a whole number to
the nearest whole number. Here is an example:
2.734502
The trick is we ignore all the other parts of the fraction apart from
the first part of the fraction which is 7 in this case. If the 7 is 6 -10
the whole number which is 2 in this case is now 3, but if it is 4 -1
the answer is 2. But what if the first part of the fraction is five? Well
then we look at the second part of the fraction. If that is five too we
move to the next number and so on… but were where were we, a
yes if the first part of the fraction is 5 we look at the next number let’s
say that's 2 if the 2 is 6 -10 the 2 turns the fraction of the whole
number 5 into a fraction of the whole number 6 which now means
it turns the whole number 2 into a whole number 3, but if the fraction
of the whole number 2 is 4 -1 the whole number is still 2.
Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!
