Q:
O que significa the length of Wanda’s telephone call was rounded up to the nearest whole minute by her telephone company ?
A:
In some places, telephone companies charge you by the minute. So for example if every minute they charge you 2 dollars, a ten minute phone call will cost you 20 dollars.
To round up to the nearest minute means that the phone company will charge you by the next closest minute.
For example: If I talk on the phone for 30 seconds, I will be charged for one minute. If I talk on the phone for 4 minutes and 1 second, I will be charged for 5 minutes.
