Mr. Morales traveled 1,214 miles while on a business trip. What is this number rounded to the nearest ten?

F. 1,200
G. 1,210
H. 1,220
J. None of these

Answer :

To round a number to the nearest ten, we start by looking at its ones digit. For the number

[tex]$$1214,$$[/tex]

the ones digit is [tex]$4$[/tex]. Since [tex]$4$[/tex] is less than [tex]$5$[/tex], we round down. This means we subtract the ones digit from the original number:

[tex]$$1214 - 4 = 1210.$$[/tex]

Thus, when [tex]$1214$[/tex] is rounded to the nearest ten, the result is

[tex]$$1210.$$[/tex]
