What is 13.5 rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer

13.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is
14

Nearest whole number — no decimal places. The tenths digit decides: 5⁠–⁠9 round up, 0⁠–⁠4 keep; the decimals are dropped.

Exactly halfway between 13 and 14 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 14. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 14.
