Let me teach you a liitle bit of math, say, at the elementary school level so you might comprehend it somewhat. Rounding of fractionals to a whole number. Either rounding down to 5 months. Or rounding up to the next whole number, which you seem to think is 7 months but my 4-year-old niece says is actually 6 months. So go back to school, little boy.
Yeah?
This should be fun
“Rounding of fractionals to a whole number. Either rounding down to 5 months.”
Umm..nope.
Now let me teach you something about rounding up numbers in mathematics:
“Rounding Numbers
A rounded number has about the same value as the number you start with, but it is less exact.
For example, 341 rounded to the nearest hundred is 300. That is because 341 is closer in value to 300 than to 400. When rounding off to the nearest dollar, $1.89 becomes $2.00, because $1.89 is closer to $2.00 than to $1.00
Rules for Rounding
Here's the general rule for rounding:
If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 40
If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30
Rounding to a Whole Number
Step 1: See if the first number after the decimal point is greater than 4.
Step 2: If the number is greater than 4, drop the decimal part and add 1 to your number. Otherwise just drop the decimal part.
Example 1: Round 35.56
The first number after the decimal point is 5. This is greater than 4 so our rounded number is 35 + 1 = 36.
Example 2: Round 1.3333
The first number after the decimal point is 3. This is not greater than 4 so our rounded number is 1.
Now since Jobs announced the iPhone on January 9, but then never released the product till June 29, that makes it 5 months 20 days from announcement to release.
Assuming an average month of 30 days, 5 months 20 days = 5 23/30 months = 5.66666 months
Rounding up to the nearest whole number gives ya 5+1 = 6 months.
Get it, Mr. DUMMY?
Does your 4 year old niece think rounding up to the nearest whole number for 5.67 is 5, or is that really you that who is that dumb? Umm..what school did you say you got that degree in what was it, computer science from again?
