To use a number line to round 148 to the nearest ten, here's what you can do:

Step 1: Draw a number line where the numbers increase from left to right. Label the leftmost point as the multiple of 10 which is lower than 148 (in this case, 140), and the rightmost point as the multiple of 10 which is higher than 148 (in this case, 150).

Step 2: Locate 148 on the number line. It should be somewhere between 140 and 150.

Step 3: Identify which multiple of ten 148 is closer to. In this case, 148 is closer to 150.

Step 4: Round 148 to the nearest ten, which is 150.
