Round 8.12 to the nearest ten?

Answer 1

To the nearest 'ten' as you said, it would be: 10

To the nearest 'tenth," it would be: 8.1

To round a number, look at the number right after the number you want it to stop at. If that number is greater than 5, then you round up one digit. If it is 4 or below, the digit stays the same.

Answer 2

To round 8.12 to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is 0. Since 0 is less than 5, we keep the digit in the tens place the same and change all digits to the right of the tens place to zero. Therefore, rounding 8.12 to the nearest ten gives us 10.
