Explanation:
We are rounding each number to the nearest 10. Here’s how to do it:
- Look at the
ones digit (the last digit).
- If the ones digit is
0–4, round
down to the lower ten.
- If the ones digit is
5–9, round
up to the higher ten.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
16 → ones digit is 6 → round up →
20
2.
21 → ones digit is 1 → round down →
20
3.
48 → ones digit is 8 → round up →
50
4.
12 → ones digit is 2 → round down →
10
5.
43 → ones digit is 3 → round down →
40
6.
33 → ones digit is 3 → round down →
30
7.
45 → ones digit is 5 → round up →
50
8.
19 → ones digit is 9 → round up →
20
9.
53 → ones digit is 3 → round down →
50
10.
66 → ones digit is 6 → round up →
70
11.
85 → ones digit is 5 → round up →
90
12.
91 → ones digit is 1 → round down →
90
13.
77 → ones digit is 7 → round up →
80
14.
88 → ones digit is 8 → round up →
90
15.
96 → ones digit is 6 → round up →
100
16.
59 → ones digit is 9 → round up →
60
Let me double-check a few tricky ones:
- 45 → exactly halfway between 40 and 50 → rule says round
up → 50
✔
- 96 → closer to 100 than to 90 (difference: 4 vs 6) → 100
✔
- 91 → only 1 away from 90, 9 away from 100 → 90
✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
1. 20
2. 20
3. 50
4. 10
5. 40
6. 30
7. 50
8. 20
9. 50
10. 70
11. 90
12. 90
13. 80
14. 90
