Question

5287 Rounding of the nearest

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To round the number 5287 to the nearest whole number, you will need to look at the digit in the hundreds place. In this case, the hundreds digit is 2.

To round the number to the nearest whole number, follow these steps:

1. Look at the digit directly to the right of the hundreds place digit (in this case, the tens place digit).
2. If the tens place digit is less than 5, you will round down by dropping all digits to the right of the hundreds digit. The hundreds digit remains the same.
3. If the tens place digit is 5 or greater, you will round up by increasing the hundreds digit by one and dropping all digits to the right of the hundreds digit.

Since the tens place digit in this case is 8, which is greater than 5, you will round up. Therefore, rounding 5287 to the nearest whole number gives you:

5287 rounded to the nearest whole number is 5300.
