Sometimes, when we divide, we get answers that are so accurate that they don't make sense!
We must round the answer up or down to make sense of the question.
Example
How many coaches carrying 20 people will be needed to take 575 people to a football match?
Answer
575 ÷ 20 = 28.75
It is impossible to have 28.75 coaches....so we need to think!!
28 coaches will not be enough.
So we need to round up to 29 coaches.
Shall we have a go at some questions now?
