Round 347 to the nearest 10

Step by step

The question

Question: round 347 to the nearest ten.

1 Find the place

The nearest ten means the tens place.

In 347, the tens digit is 4.

2 Look at the next digit

Now we look at the next digit to the right.

It is 7.

5 or more: we round up, the tens digit goes up by 1.

4 or less: we round down, the tens digit stays the same.

7 is 5 or more, so we round up.

3 See it on a number line

347 is closer to 350.

So 347 rounded to the nearest ten is 350.

The sign ≈ means about.

Let's look back.

First: find the place.

Then: look at the next digit.

Last: see it on a number line.
