Answer

$\left\lfloor 1.2 \right\rfloor=1$ $\left\lfloor 2.3 \right\rfloor= 2$ $\left\lfloor 8.9 \right\rfloor=8$ $\left\lfloor -4.6 \right\rfloor=-5$

Work Step by Step

We use the definition of the floor function. $\left\lfloor 1.2 \right\rfloor$ is the largest integer less or equal to $1.2$, which is $1$, so we have $\left\lfloor 1.2 \right\rfloor=1$. $\left\lfloor 2.3 \right\rfloor$ is the largest integer less or equal to $2.3$, which is $2$, so we have $\left\lfloor 2.3 \right\rfloor=2$. $\left\lfloor 8.9 \right\rfloor$ is the largest integer less or equal to $8.9$, which is $8$, so we have $\left\lfloor 8.9 \right\rfloor=8$. $\left\lfloor -4.6 \right\rfloor$ is the largest integer less or equal to $-4.6$, which is $-5$, so we have $\left\lfloor -4.6 \right\rfloor=-5$.
