How do you round 12,840 to the nearest ten?

Answer 1

#12.840 ~~10#

#12,840# is already to the nearest #10#

Well, it depends on whether your number is twelve thousand eight hundred and forty (12 840) or #12.840.# I'm afraid I'm from the UK so I always do decimal points with a period but I know some places use commas.

Since there are no digits smaller than ten (40 is a multiple of ten), if the number is 12 840, it has already been rounded to the nearest ten.

However if it is 12.840 then the nearest ten would be #10.# This is because we round up or down the digit after the tens. In this case, we would be looking at the 2 in the units. This rounds down so it stays as a ten.

I hope that this helps, and please let me know if you need anything else.

To round 12,840 to the nearest ten, look at the digit in the tens place, which is '4'. Since '4' is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, 12,840 rounded to the nearest ten is 12,840 itself.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
