Kathy rounded a number to the nearest whole number and got 7. Which of the following could be kathy's number

A. 7.3782

B. 7.6581

C. 7.9275

D. 8.3497

Your answer would be:

A. 7.3782

Because if you look at the 7 that is before the decimals and then, look at the 3 after it. Since, 3 is less than 5, you have to round down. That means that the whole number would be 7.

When rounding with decimals, you tend to round down before. 5 and up after. 5.

Ex.

7.1 through 7.4 would round down to 7.

7.5 through 7.9 would round up to 8.

There is only one number that works here.
