Which of the following numbers does not round to the same number as the others?
5 1/5, 4 5/6 End Fraction, 5 6/7 end fraction, 4 11/12
A. 5 1/5
B. 4 5/6
C. 5 6/ 7
D. 4 11/12
they all round to 5 ... except for 5 6/7
To determine which number does not round to the same number as the others, we need to round each number to the nearest whole number.
Let's start with option A: 5 1/5. To round this number to the nearest whole number, we look at the fractional part, which is 1/5. Since 1/5 is less than 1/2, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 5.
Now let's move on to option B: 4 5/6. To round this number to the nearest whole number, we look at the fractional part, which is 5/6. Since 5/6 is more than 1/2, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 5.
Next is option C: 5 6/7. To round this number to the nearest whole number, we look at the fractional part, which is 6/7. Since 6/7 is more than 1/2, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 6.
Finally, option D: 4 11/12. To round this number to the nearest whole number, we look at the fractional part, which is 11/12. Since 11/12 is more than 1/2, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 5.
From our calculations, we can see that all the numbers, except for option A (5 1/5), round to the same number, which is 5. Therefore, the answer is:
A. 5 1/5.
