Question

Round off the following to the nearest ten.

$7932$

Answer 1

To round off a number to the nearest $10$:

Look at the digit in the one's place,

• If it is less than $5$, round down to the smaller multiple of $10$.
• If it is $5$ or more, round up to the greater multiple of $10$.

The number $7932$ lies in between the two consecutive multiples of $10$ which are $7930$ and $7940$.

Also, $7932$ has the digit $2$ in the one's place which is smaller than $5$.

So, according to the rule given, $7932$ will be rounded down to the smaller multiple of $10$.

The smaller multiple of $10$ in between $7930$ and $7940$ is $7930$.

Therefore, $7932$ is rounded to $7930$.
