What does intermediate calculations mean?
I recently solved a math problem, and the answer I got was "440 people." The instructions say to round this number to the nearest whole number, but also to avoid rounding any intermediate calculations. What does "intermediate calculations" mean in this context? Additionally, what would 440 be when rounded to the nearest whole number? Could someone please clarify both of these points?

440 is the nearest whole number. Something that had a decimal would not be the nearest whole number.
Intermediate calculations are all of the calculations you make up until your final answer. So if one of the steps was 3/4 = .75 and then you had to multiply it by 17, you would leave it as .75 and multiply that by 17 giving you 12.75. If 12.75 was what you got for the very last step then you would round that to 13 as it would be the nearest whole number.
