Question

How do you round 294 to the nearest ten?

Answer 1

`290`

Explanation:

`100th = 200`
`10th = 90`
`1th = 4`

When rounding the nearest `10` we find which value is closest to `10`.

If the `1th` value or the value followed by the number you are attempting to round is `0,1,2,3` or `4` we round down.

If the `1th` value or the value followed by the number you are attempting to round is `5,6,7,8` or `9` we round up.

In this case, we round down and so `294` to the nearest `10` will be `290`.
