    What is 2.5 rounded to the nearest whole number?

    Answer

    2.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is
    3

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

    Exactly halfway between 2 and 3 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 3. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 2.
