STEP 1

What is this asking?
We're rounding a bunch of decimal numbers to the nearest whole number!
Watch out!
Remember, we're looking at the digit right after the decimal point to decide whether to round up or down.
Don't get tricked!

STEP 2

1. Round 9.7
2. Round 16.45
3. Round 25.3

STEP 3

Alright, let's round $9.7$!
Look at the digit right after the decimal – it's a 7.

STEP 4

Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
So, $9.7$ becomes 10!

STEP 5

Now, let's tackle $16.45$.
The digit after the decimal is a 4.

STEP 6

Since 4 is less than 5, we round down. $16.45$ rounds to 16!

STEP 7

Last one!
We've got $25.3$.
Peeking at the digit after the decimal, we see a 3.

STEP 8

Because 3 is less than 5, we round down. $25.3$ becomes 25!

a. $9.7$ rounds to 10
b. $16.45$ rounds to 16
c. $25.3$ rounds to 25
