Answer:

B. 9

Step-by-step and Justified explanation:

Round off 8.730 to the nearest whole number

Step 1: Identify the digit to be rounded

Round off 8.730 to the nearest whole number

Step 2: Look for the nearest digit to the right

In number 8.730, 7 is the nearest digit to the right

Step 3: After finding the whole number, round up or round down depending on what the nearest digit to the right is

Note: Before rounding, you must identify nearest digit to the right is less than, equal to, or greater than 5. If it is less than 5, just zero the other digit to the right. But if it is greater than or equal to 5, round up.

In the number 8.730, 7 is greater than 5. So we are rounding up.

Answer: 9 because 9.000 is the result after we round it up. I just cancelled .000 since it has no such value in the number.
