Rounding is used to simplify numbers by making them shorter and easier to understand while keeping the new value close to the original number. A new value is simpler to use although not as accurate as the original.
In order to round 162 to the nearest ten follow these quick steps:
1. Look up the digit that appears in the ten place:
In this case with 162 we have 6 in ten place
2, Next locate the number to the right of the ten place:
In this example it is 2
3. If the number to the right of the ten place is greater than or equal to (>=) 5 then round up; if the same number is less than 5 then round down. If the number is zero no need to do anything since it is already rounded to the ten.
Since 2 is less than (<) 5, therefore the ten place number 6 does not change (since we are rounding down).
4. Now add 0 after the rounded number and get:
160
To sum up, when you round 162 to the nearest ten you get 160.
