    What is 15.5 rounded to the nearest whole number?

    Answer

    15.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is
    16

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

    Exactly halfway between 15 and 16 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 16. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 16.
