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.
