Question

rounding numbers (level 2)
question
round 47,012.5432158 to the nearest ten.
answer
attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the tens place

In the number \( 47,012.5432158 \), the digits are: ten - thousands place: \( 4 \), thousands place: \( 7 \), hundreds place: \( 0 \), tens place: \( 1 \), ones place: \( 2 \), and then the decimal part. So the tens digit is \( 1 \), and the digit to the right of the tens place (the ones place) is \( 2 \).

Step2: Apply the rounding rule

The rule for rounding is: if the digit to the right of the place we are rounding to (the ones place here, since we are rounding to the nearest ten) is less than \( 5 \), we leave the tens digit as it is and change all the digits to the right of the tens place (including the ones place and the decimal part) to \( 0 \). Since \( 2 < 5 \), we keep the tens digit \( 1 \) as it is and set the ones digit and the decimal part to \( 0 \). So the number rounded to the nearest ten is \( 47010 \).

Answer:

\( 47010 \)
