Example Question #4324 : Numbers And Operations

What is \(\displaystyle 614\) rounded to the nearest ten? 

 

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 500\)

\(\displaystyle 600\)

\(\displaystyle 610\)

\(\displaystyle 610\)

\(\displaystyle 620\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 610\)

Explanation:

When we round a number to the tens place we look to our ones place to tell us if we round up or down. If the number in our ones place is \(\displaystyle 5\) or greater, we round up. If the number in the ones place is \(\displaystyle 4\) or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the tens place increases by \(\displaystyle 1\). The numbers to the right of the tens place become \(\displaystyle 0\) and the numbers to the left of the tens place stay the same. When we round down, the number in the tens place stays the same. The numbers to the right of the tens place become \(\displaystyle 0\) and the numbers to the left of the tens place stay the same.

In this case, \(\displaystyle 4\) is less than \(\displaystyle 5\) so our rounded number is \(\displaystyle 610.\)
