To solve this problem, we need to round each number on the footballs to the nearest 10. Then, we match each rounded number to the correct goal (130, 140, 150, or 160).
Rule for rounding to the nearest 10:
- Look at the
ones digit (the last digit) of the number.
- If the ones digit is
5 or more, round
up.
- If the ones digit is
4 or less, round
down.
Let’s go through each football one by one:
1.
138 → ones digit is 8 → 8 ≥ 5 → round up →
140
2.
126 → ones digit is 6 → 6 ≥ 5 → round up →
130
3.
135 → ones digit is 5 → 5 ≥ 5 → round up →
140
4.
155 → ones digit is 5 → 5 ≥ 5 → round up →
160
5.
164 → ones digit is 4 → 4 < 5 → round down →
160
6.
149 → ones digit is 9 → 9 ≥ 5 → round up →
150
7.
153 → ones digit is 3 → 3 < 5 → round down →
150
8.
132 → ones digit is 2 → 2 < 5 → round down →
130
Now let’s group them by which goal they go into:
-
Goal 130: 126, 132
-
Goal 140: 138, 135
-
Goal 150: 149, 153
-
Goal 160: 155, 164
Double-checking:
- 126 → 130 ✔️
- 132 → 130 ✔️
- 138 → 140 ✔️
- 135 → 140 ✔️
- 149 → 150 ✔️
- 153 → 150 ✔️
- 155 → 160 ✔️
- 164 → 160 ✔️
All are correctly rounded.
Final Answer:
- 138 → 140
- 126 → 130
- 135 → 140
- 155 → 160
- 164 → 160
- 149 → 150
- 153 → 150
- 132 → 130
