Answer :
The number 235 rounded to the nearest ten is 240.
1. Identify the digit in the tens place of the number: In 235, the digit in the tens place is 3.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the tens place: In 235, the digit to the right of 3 is 5.
3. Determine if the digit in the tens place rounds up or down: Since 5 is 5 or greater, we round up the digit in the tens place.
4. Replace the digits to the right of the tens place with zeros: When rounding to the nearest 10, we only consider the digit in the tens place and ignore the digits to the right of it. So, we replace the digits to the right of the tens place with zeros.
5. Increase the digit in the tens place by 1 if rounding up: Since we are rounding up from 3 to the next higher multiple of 10, the digit in the tens place becomes 3 + 1 = 4.
6. Combine the rounded tens place digit with the zeros: After rounding, the number becomes 240.
Therefore, 235 rounded to the nearest 10 is 240.
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.
