Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To round 43,245 to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is 4. Since the digit to the right of the tens place is 5 or greater, we must round up. Therefore, the answer is 43,250. Answer choices A and C are not correct because they round up to the nearest hundred, not ten. Answer choice D rounds down to 43,240. We look at the digit in the ones place, which is 5. Since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the tens place to get 43,250.
