Question

Round 483 to the nearest ten

Answer 1

480

We round the number up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

We round the number down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

If the last digit is 0, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.

Answer 2

To round to the nearest ten, we will look at the number in the ones place, and determine if it is higher, lower, or equal to 5. In this case, 3 is less than 5, so we round down. This means that 483 rounded to the nearest ten is 480. :) I hope this helps you in the future! A common phrase you can think about is:
Four or less, give it a rest. 5 and above, give it a shove.
