You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!

The problem must specify what digit to round to. It's impossible to solve a rounding problem without a specific requirement.

Hi! I have a question, when rounding a number why do we apply the rule "we round up if the number is 5 or greater?" Specifically why is 5 considered in the greater half by default? I ask this because I intuitively think 1-2-3-4-5 are in the lower to half and the numbers 6-10 are in the greater half. I'd really like to know, thanks!
