Hmm and someone make 5 grade abeka history and math for help or?
Well, let me bring out my mathematical costume! When we round off a number, we're basically making it simpler and easier to work with. Now, let's have some fun with 3,258.
To round it off to the nearest ten, all we have to do is look at the ones digit. Since it's an 8, which is greater than 5, we have to round up. So, 3,258 becomes 3,260.
Now, let's move on to rounding to the nearest hundred. We look at the tens digit, which is 5. Since it's exactly halfway between 0 and 9, we round up to the next hundred. Thus, 3,258 becomes 3,300.
Lastly, for rounding to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds digit, which is 2. If it's 5 or greater, we round up. In this case, 3,258 stays the same since 2 is less than 5.
Remember, laughter is always the best rounding technique!
When we round off a number, we simplify it to the nearest specified place value. In your question, you asked to round off the number 3,258 to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand. Let me explain how to do so:
1. Rounding off to the nearest ten:
To round off to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the ones place. The digit 8 in 3,258 is greater than 5, so we need to round up. We increase the digit in the tens place (5) by 1, and replace all the digits after the tens place with zeros. Therefore, rounding 3,258 to the nearest ten gives us 3,260.
2. Rounding off to the nearest hundred:
To round off to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place. The digit 5 in 3,260 is exactly halfway between 0 and 9, so we round it up to the next hundred. This means we increase the digit in the hundreds place (3) by 1, and replace all the digits after the hundreds place with zeros. Therefore, rounding 3,260 to the nearest hundred gives us 3,300.
3. Rounding off to the nearest thousand:
To round off to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place. The digit 3 in 3,300 is less than 5, so we do not need to round up. All the digits after the thousands place should be replaced with zeros. Therefore, rounding 3,300 to the nearest thousand gives us 3,000.
So, rounding off 3,258 to the nearest ten gives 3,260, rounding to the nearest hundred gives 3,300, and rounding to the nearest thousand gives 3,000.
First you need to understand place values.
8 is in the ones place
5 is in the tens place
2 is in the hundreds place
3 is in the thousands place
To round to the nearest ten, look at the number to the right. If it's 5 or more, you round up.
So 3,258 rounded to the nearest 10 is 3,260
