2. 1/2 or greater, you round up. less than 1/2, you round down.

2 1/4 would be 2.
like said before it depends on the rounding rules used.
in some banks.... 2 1/4 would still round to 3 (charges etc).
in math its 2.
its not an estimate. rounding is a arbitrary 'get it to whole number' or similar rounding rule...not estimation.
estimatiin is mainly in statistics or calculus.

2 1/4 is a mixed number.
To pass it to a fraction you must multiply 2x4, and then add 1. the answer would be 9/4.
9/4= 2.25
The nearest whole is 2

2 because 2 1/4 is 2.25 & if you round it it becomes 2
