Question

6.9 estimated to nearest natural number is

Answer 1

Step 1: Locate the number mentioned in the nearest place value (nearest natural number) i.e ones place

Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the digit you want to estimate i.e 9 (tenths place)

Step 3: Follow the rule: If you see a digit nearest to natural number greater than 5, round up. If it is less than 5, round down.

9 in tenths place is greater than 5 so we increase the digit in ones coloum by 1.

$\underset{–}{6}.9\to \underset{–}{7}.9$

Finally we eliminate the digits after rounded off digits.
Hence 6.9 estimated to nearest natural number is 7.
