How do you round 294 to the nearest ten?

Answer 1

#290#

#100th = 200# #10th = 90# #1th = 4#

When rounding the nearest #10# we find which value is closest to #10#.

If the #1th# value or the value followed by the number you are attempting to round is #0,1,2,3# or #4# we round down.

If the # 1th # value or the value followed by the number you are attempting to round is #5,6,7,8# or #9# we round up.

In this case, we round down and so #294# to the nearest #10# will be #290#.

To round 294 to the nearest ten, identify the digit in the tens place, which is 9. Since the digit in the ones place is 4, which is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, 294 rounded to the nearest ten is 290.
