Question

The tallest bridge in a country has a height of 432 ft. What is the height round to the nearest ten and to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

To round the height of the bridge to the nearest ten, you would look at the digit in the ones place. Since the digit in the ones place is 2, which is less than 5, you would round down. Therefore, rounding to the nearest ten gives us 430 ft.

To round the height of the bridge to the nearest hundred, you would look at the digit in the tens place. Since the digit in the tens place is 3, which is less than 5, you would round down. Therefore, rounding to the nearest hundred gives us 400 ft.
