Question

What is (1,345)/ (99) rounded to the nearest integer?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Answer 1

The correct option is C 14

$\frac{1345}{99}=13.58$

To round to the nearest integer we need to look at the digit in the tenths position, just to the right of the decimal place.

If the digit in the tenths position is greater than or equal to $5$ we need to add $1$ to the digit in the one's position.

For this problem, the digit in the tenths position is a $5$ which is equal to $5$ so we need to add $1$ to the digit in the ones position:

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1345}{99}=13.58\approx 14$
