round 333.3333333333 to the nearest meter

well, it's 333 to the nearest integer.

whether that's the nearest meter is something else entirely.

To round a decimal number to the nearest meter, we need to determine its distance from the nearest whole meter. In this case, the number is 333.3333333333, and we need to find its distance from 333 and 334.

Step 1: Identify the tenths digit
The tenths digit is the first digit after the decimal point. In this case, it is 3.

Step 2: Determine the distance from the lower and higher whole meters
To get the distance from the lower and higher whole meters, we need to consider the value of the tenths digit:

- If the tenths digit is less than 5, the number is closer to the lower whole meter.
- If the tenths digit is equal to or greater than 5, the number is closer to the higher whole meter.

In this case, the tenths digit is 3, which is less than 5. So 333.3333333333 is closer to the lower whole meter, 333.

Step 3: Round the number
Since the number is closer to the lower whole meter, the rounded value is 333 meters.
