To solve this problem, we will round the number 52 to the nearest 10. Here's the step-by-step explanation:
Therefore, when 52 is rounded to the nearest 10, it becomes .
\( 52\approx\text{ ?} \)
The ones digit tells us whether we're closer to the ten below or the ten above. If it's 0-4, we're closer to the lower ten. If it's 5-9, we're closer to the higher ten.
When the ones digit is exactly 5, we round up to the next ten. For example, 45 rounds up to 50, and 135 rounds up to 140.
Look at the tens digit! For 52, the tens digit is 5, so compare with 50 (5 tens) and 60 (6 tens). Pick whichever is closer.
Yes! Calculate the distance from your original number to your rounded answer. For 52 → 50, the distance is |52 - 50| = 2. This should be 5 or less for correct rounding to tens.
Absolutely! The same rules apply. For example, -52 would round to -50 because the ones digit is still 2, which is less than 5.
