How can you round numbers?
Unlock Unlock the the Problem Problem Mia’s baseball bat is 32 inches long. What is its length rounded to the nearest ten inches?
One Way
Use place value to round.
A Round 32 to the nearest ten. Think: The digit in the ones place tells if the number is closer to 30 or 40.
2
●5
Remember When you round a number, you find a number that tells you about how much or about how many.
32
↑
So, the tens digit stays the same. Write 3 as the tens digit. Write zero as the ones digit. So, the length of Mia’s bat rounded to the nearest ten inches is _ inches. B Round 457 to the nearest hundred. Think: The digit in the tens place tells if the number is closer to 400 or 500.
So, the hundreds digit increases by one. Write 5 as the hundreds digit. Write zeros as the tens and ones digits.
• Find the place to which you want to round. • Look at the digit to the right. • If the digit is less than 5, the digit in the rounding place stays the same. • If the digit is 5 or greater, the digit in the rounding place increases by one. • Write zeros for the digits to the right of the rounding place.
So, 457 rounded to the nearest hundred is _.
