Let's go through the rounding problems step by step and explain how to solve them correctly.
---
Part 1: Round each number to the nearest ten
To round to the nearest
ten, look at the
ones digit (the last digit):
- If it is
5 or more, round
up.
- If it is
less than 5, round
down.
---
1. 543 → 540
- Ones digit = 3 → less than 5 → round down →
540
2. 789 → 790
- Ones digit = 9 → 9 ≥ 5 → round up →
790
3. 899 → 900
- Ones digit = 9 → round up → 899 → 900
5. 1,289 → 1,290
- Ones digit = 9 → round up → 1,289 → 1,290
6. 453 → 450
- Ones digit = 3 → less than 5 → round down → 450
7. 6,987 → 6,990
- Ones digit = 7 → round up → 6,987 → 6,990
8. 443 → 440
- Ones digit = 3 → round down → 440
9. 221 → 220
- Ones digit = 1 → round down → 220
10. 349 → 350
- Ones digit = 9 → round up → 350

Part 2: Round each number to the nearest hundred
To round to the nearest
hundred, look at the
tens digit:
- If it is
5 or more, round
up.
- If it is
less than 5, round
down.
---
11. 5,489 → 5,500
- Tens digit = 8 → 8 ≥ 5 → round up → 5,489 → 5,500
12. 6,223 → 6,200
- Tens digit = 2 → less than 5 → round down → 6,200
13. 8,978 → 9,000
- Tens digit = 7 → round up → 8,978 → 9,000
14. 57,685 → 57,700
- Tens digit = 8 → round up → 57,685 → 57,700
15. 67,901 → 67,900
- Tens digit = 0 → less than 5 → round down → 67,900
16. 234,876 → 234,900
- Tens digit = 7 → round up → 234,876 → 234,900
17. 34,211 → 34,200
- Tens digit = 1 → less than 5 → round down → 34,200
