Question

What is \[\dfrac{{1345}}{{99}}\] rounded to the nearest integer?
A.12
B.13
C.14
D.15

Answer 1

Hint: Firstly, do the division i.e. \[\dfrac{{1345}}{{99}}\] .
Now, do the rounding of the number i.e. remove the decimal point and make it a natural number as per the rules of rounding a number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
First, we need to divide 1345 by 99 to get a value in the decimal point.
 \[\dfrac{{1345}}{{99}}\] =13.58…
Here, the digit at ten’s place i.e. right after the decimal point is 5, which is more than or equal to 5.
So, we have to add +1 to the unit place i.e. left digit of the decimal point.
Thus, 13 + 1 = 14 is the correct answer.

Note: For rounding any number to its nearest integer, we have to see the digit at tenth’s place just after the decimal point.
If the digit at tenth’s place is smaller than 5, we just simply need to remove the digits that are after the decimal point.
If the digit at tenth’s place is greater than or equal to 5, we have to add +1 to the unit place of the number (the digit left of the decimal point).
