Question

Spencer orders 235 cans of tomatoes to make salsa for the festival. What is 235 rounded to nearest 10

Answer 1

In solving this problem, you should know the basic place values:

For example:

243. in this example, 200 is the hundreds, 40 is the tens and the 3 is the ones.

So for our problem, 235 if rounded off to the nearest tens, it would be 240. Since according to the rules if the ones is 5 and above, the number will be rounded off.

We round down if the ones is 4 and below.
