How should i round the number 60.7025?

Given the number:

60.7025

Determine how to round the number.

Solution:

In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same. Since it is not stated whether on what place to round the number, we can assume that we need to round the number to the nearest whole number, hence this means that we will get rid of the decimals. Hence, if we are asked to round the number to a specific place, we must first determine the place values of the numbers. The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.

The nearest whole number has a digit of 0, and before 0 on the decimal point, we have 7, which is greater than 5, therefore, we will add 1 to 0.

= 61

Final answer:
= 61
