2 the number 157 is between which two tens? circle the two tens on the number line.
130 140 150 160 170 180
3 what is 157 rounded to the nearest ten?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify range for 88

88 is between 80 and 90.

Step2: Determine nearest ten

Since 88 is closer to 90 (88 - 80 = 8 and 90 - 88 = 2), it rounds to 90.

Step3: Identify range for 157

157 is between 150 and 160.

Step4: Determine nearest ten for 157

Since 157 is closer to 160 (157 - 150 = 7 and 160 - 157 = 3), it rounds to 160.

Answer:

1. 90
2. 150 and 160
3. 160
