You and your friend Sarah are both on work experience at the local vets. You have been asked to round the weights of some of the patients so that the correct tablets can be given. Oscar weighs 45kg. You think this should round up to 50kg but Sarah thinks it should round down to 40kg. Who is right?
A) Rounding up is right
B) Rounding down is right
C) Both are right
D) Neither are right

Rounding down is safer to prevent overdose.
Just put Oscar down.

The first 45kg dog, round up.
The second 45kg dog, round down.
Repeat

Also safer if you don't want to give the dog the appropriate amount of doggy drugs for it's size.
Round up. It's a dog, not a human.

Round down to avoid being sued whether it's your fault or not. But round after converting to a dosage, and by a much smaller amount, if you have a fucking brain.
= 4.5 x10^1
When at .5, round to nearest even
= 4.0x10^1
=40kg
B) is correct
Also, if you round up, the dog will die of pill overdose. You shouldn't round at all but assuming that a nigger has a gun to your head

The dog is 45kg, which is pretty big. Rounding up would yield the best results for this obese sack.
Either way, the answer is E) The vet would double check your rounding and select the tablets themselves.
suck the dog dry so it's under 45kg then round down
round up to 50
that's basic maths

The medication's dosing instructions will explain this clearly: read them.
>>8099716
You don't round anything, that's why you're the assistant and not the vet
>rounding
>ever
Literally having a number corresponding to something and replacing it with one which does not.
Also what are the chances of the weight being an integer of an arbitrary unit exactly
