we can round up or down:
first,round up
975 rounded to the nearest ten is: 980
When rounding to the nearest ten, like we did with 975 above, we use the following rules:
A) We round the number up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
so, next numbers we can round up to 980 are: 976,977,978, and 979

B) We round the number down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
so, 981, 982,983, and 984 will be rounded down to 980

C) If the last digit is 0, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.

Write the numbers which, when rounded off to the nearest ten, give 980.
With the number being N, we get: highlight_green%28975%3C=N%3C984.5%29
