What is 36 rounded to the nearest ten?

Find the place you want to round. Look one place to the right. If the digit is less than 5, round down. If the digit is 5 or higher, round up.

First, find the digit in the tens place. This is the place you want to round:

Now look one place to the right:

6 is greater than 5, so you will round up. First, replace all the digits to the right of the tens place by zeros:

36 → 30

Now add 1 to the other part of the number:

30 → 40
