Example Question #151 : Generalize Place Value Understanding For Multi Digit Whole Numbers

Round \displaystyle 849 to the nearest ten.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 800

\displaystyle 850

\displaystyle 860

\displaystyle 840

\displaystyle 830

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 850

Explanation:

When we round a number to the nearest hundred we look to the tens place to tell us if we round up or down.

\displaystyle 84{\color{Blue} 9}

If the number in our tens place is \displaystyle 5 or greater, we round up. If the number in the tens place is \displaystyle 4 or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the hundreds place increases by \displaystyle 1 and all the other numbers to the right become \displaystyle 0. When we round down, the number in the hundreds place stays the same and all the other numbers to the right become \displaystyle 0.

In this case, \displaystyle 9 is greater than \displaystyle 5 so our rounded number is \displaystyle 850
