Hi! Here is how you can round 328 to the nearest whole number.

Explanation:

First, it depends on what you are rounding it to. For instance, if you are told to round to the nearest whole number in the tens digit, then you would have to round 28 to be either 20 or 30. Here is how you can round to the tens place:

First off, forget about the 3. Then look at 28. Usually, if the last digit is below 5 you round down, but if it is above 5 you would round up. In this case, the 8 in 28 is above 5, so you would round up.

But if you have been asked to round to the hundreds place, then you should use the same method shown above, but instead to a larger scale. For example, if the number is below 350, then you would round down to 300. But if the number is above 350, then you would round up to 400.

In this case, you will need to make sure which one is the one that is asked for. Hope this helps!
