Apparently, I am not the only one who has thought about this!? #whyroundup #roundingnumbers When we look at our hands, we see one to ten. Now the midpoint between 1 to 10 is not 5, it's actually 5.5. So, the decimal argument is a good point! It does make sense to round up on five with decimal numbers because it's closer to the midpoint... But, Google helped me realize that I forgot the number ZERO! And all of the one digit numbers make up the two digit numbers, so the actual numbers are 0 to 9. Therefore, you don't even have to worry about a midpoint, it splits evenly and 5 gets put on the higher end!! #rounditup β˜οΈπŸ’­ Thank you, Google. πŸ€“ #geekville #studygram #bloom πŸ‘£ 🌱 #studyhelianthus #math #mathproblems #omg #google #lol πŸ“– 🌻 (at South Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpbocFHHIe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nq48lar6e2qy
