To round 72 to the nearest ten, you would look at the digit in the tens place, which is 7. Since the digit to the right of 7 is 2, which is less than 5, you would round down. Therefore, 72 rounded to the nearest ten is 70.

To round a number, look at the digit to the right of the place you want to round to. If it is 5 or more, change the digit in the place you're rounding to to the next higher digit. If the digit to the right of the place you're rounding to is less than 5, leave the digit in the place you are rounding to as it is. Change all digits to the right of the place you are rounding to to zeros.

72 rounded to the nearest ten is 70.
