What is 2/3 as a whole number?

[sanjay]

Could someone explain what 2/3 as a whole number is all about?

2/3 is not a whole number because it represents a part of a whole. A whole number is a number without fractions or decimals, like 0, 1, 2, or 3. Since 2/3 is less than 1 and includes a fraction, it cannot be expressed as a whole number.

2/3 isn't a whole number — it's a fraction. A whole number is like 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Since 2/3 is less than 1, it stays as a fraction.

 

[Amparo]

As a decimal, it equals 0.666….Rounded off to the nearest whole number, it is 1.

2/3 is not a whole number.
When rounded to the nearest whole number, 2/3 ≈ 1.

 

[Jacks will]

When rounded up as a whole number, two-thirds of a whole number will be 1, when rounded down it will be 0, and this will depend on what method of rounding is applied, because the decimal value of two-thirds of a whole number will be about 0.67.

 

[Michael Anderson]

Two-thirds is something near 0.67 which when rounded off to the nearest whole number will be either 1 or 0, depending on the rounding rule one applies.

 

[Cayson]

Two thirds equals 0.666 recurring. As a whole number, it cannot be exact. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 2/3 becomes 1. If rounded down using the floor method, it becomes 0. Result depends on rounding rule applied mathematically.

2/3 cannot be expressed exactly as a whole number because it’s a fraction less than 1. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 2/3 equals 1. When rounded down, it becomes 0. The result depends on the rounding method you use.
