Given the fraction:
8/14
Round to the nearest whole number.
Solution:
We must first determine the value of the fraction in decimal form.
= 8/14
= 0.571
Now since we have a decimal, we need to round to the nearest whole number. 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. The value of whole number is 0, and before 0 we have 5 which means that we will add 1 to the whole number
Final answer: 1
