If it's "up to the nearest whole number" then 43...if it's "to the nearest whole number" then 42 -- nm - Flavorize Nov 9, 15:46 1
- this is actually a good clarification. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:47
It's .49 to 42. It's .51 to 43 -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 15:46

what else would it be other than 42? - znufrii Nov 9, 15:43 1
- Exactly -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 15:51
42. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:43
43. 42.49 = 42.5 = 43 -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 15:43 22
- that's....not how rounding works. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 15:44 21
  - Your face isn't how rounding works! - Roger More Nov 9, 15:46
  - Although if the teacher *taught* that it was, then I'd certainly give that answer. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:46 4
    - Also right if she wants credit. Unfortunately, the teacher is wrong. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:47
    - and...she'd be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:46 2
      - Sure, but that's not the point. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:51
      - yep. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 15:49
  - (I have the feeling this may be where the disagreement comes from.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:45 14
    - Right. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:46 13
      - Yeah. Heather says 43 based on Abby getting a similar problem wrong on a test earlier -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 15:47 12
        
        Was there a bar? - David Nov 9, 15:54 7
        
        nope -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 15:57 6
        
        I wouldn't tell Reagen or Nubby this story. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:59 5
        
        I will use this teacher's skull as a drinking gourd. -- nm* - Reagen Nov 9, 16:17 4
        
        The problem is....... - prayformojo Nov 9, 16:28 2

        "Fee fi fo fum, what's your answer NOW to that math problem?" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:26
        
        Ooo, you should have scanned it. I'd love to see it. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:49
        
        Post a picture on Facebook (or Reddit) and see if the internets explode. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:49 2
