Example Question #573 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is rounded to the nearest ten?
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 or greater, we round up. If the number in the ones place is
or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the tens place increases by
. The numbers to the right of the tens place become
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
and the numbers to the left of the tens place stay the same.
In this case, is equal to
so our rounded number is
