If you are rounding then 3.6 should yield 3.5 because (3.6 - 3.5) <<
(4 - 3.6). Otherwise you want the ceiling function.

irb(main):012:0> [3.3, 3.6].map {|x| (x * 2).round / 2.0}
=> [3.5, 3.5]
irb(main):014:0> [3.3, 3.6].map {|x| (x * 2).ceil / 2.0}
=> [3.5, 4.0]

Btw, I would rather not round float values and use them as they are.
If at all I would usually only round them for output.

Cheers
