Given:
320 ¼
Rounded to the nearest whole number.
Solution:
320 ¼ can be written as 320.25.
Since we are asked to round the given 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.
Since .2 is less than 5, this means that the whole number will retain its original value.
320.25 rounded to the nearest whole number is equal to 320
