Given the number:
357
Round to the nearest ten
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.
Since we are asked to round to the nearest ten we must determine first where ten is. The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
The value of ten in the given number is 5, and before 5 we have the number 7 which is greater than 5, that means that we will add 1 to the value of 5.
= 360
Final answer: 360
