A+=+6.3+%2B+8.3=14.6 rounded to the nearest whole number is A+=+15
B+=+6.2+%2B+8.5=14.7rounded to the nearest whole number is A+=+15
so A+=+B

If each number is rounded to the nearest whole number, which statement is true?
A = 6.3 + 8.3
B = 6.2 + 8.5
A = B
A > B
A < B
Since 6.3 rounds to 6, and 8.3 rounds to 8, A becomes: 6 + 8 = 14
Since 6.2 rounds to 6, and 8.5 rounds to 9, B becomes: 6 + 9 = 15
Therefore, A < B.
