Example Question #364 : Common Core Math: Grade 4

Round \(\displaystyle 530\textup,084\) to the nearest ten.

 

 
Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,000\)

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,100\)

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,080\)

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,200\)

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,090\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 530\textup,080\)

Explanation:

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

\(\displaystyle 530,08{\color{Blue} 4}\)

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 \(\displaystyle 1\) and all the other numbers to the right become \(\displaystyle 0\). When we round down, the number in the tens place stays the same and all the other numbers to the right become \(\displaystyle 0\).

In this case, \(\displaystyle 4\) is less than \(\displaystyle 5\) so our rounded number is \(\displaystyle 530,080\)
