Given the numbers:
33
89
Round the numbers.
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 it is not stated whether where we will round the number, we can assume that we'll round the number to the nearest tens.
= 33
The value in the tens place is 3, and before 3 we have 3 which is less than 5 therefore we will retain the tens place as it is, while changing the ones place to 0.
= 30
= 89
The value in the tens place is 8, and before 8 we have 9 which is greater than 5, therefore, we will add 1 to 8.
=90
Final answer:
33 and 89 when rounded to the nearest tens will become 30 and 90
