To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Let's proceed through these steps:
Step 1: The number given is . Here, the ones digit is .
Step 2: When rounding to the nearest ten, we consider the rule: if the ones digit is less than , round down; if it is or more, round up.
Step 3: Since the ones digit is , which is less than , we round down. Therefore, we decrease to the nearest ten, which is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( 134\approx\text{ ?} \)
When the ones digit is exactly 5, you always round up to the next ten. For example, 135 would round up to 140.
The ones digit tells us how far we are from the nearest tens. If it's 0-4, we're closer to the lower ten. If it's 5-9, we're closer to the higher ten.
Think of it as a halfway point: numbers 0-4 are in the first half (round down), and numbers 5-9 are in the second half (round up).
The difference is . Since 4 is less than 5 (halfway to the next ten), 130 is indeed the nearest ten.
Yes! This same rule works for rounding to any place value. Just look at the digit one place to the right of where you're rounding and apply the same 0-4 (down) or 5-9 (up) rule.
