Should I round an experimentally determined reaction order to an integer?

For a lab experiment I did, I'm calculating the reaction order for one of the reactants using data from two trials, both rates and the concentration of that reactant during each.


$$
\frac{\text{Rate}\_1}{\text{Rate}\_2} = \left(\frac{[A]\_1}{[A]\_2}\right)^x
$$


The number I got from that for the reaction order for reactant a was 0.967. DO I put that exactly as the reaction order, or just round and say it's a first order reaction, and the little bit of different is just a result of the number I get from my calculations not being perfect? 


I'm also trying to calculate $K\_\mathrm{eq}$, and need to know if I should use $[A]^1$ or $[A]^{0.967}$ in the calculation of $K\_\mathrm{eq}$.
