Question

when rounding 1,725 to the nearest ten, which place should be checked to decide whether the digit stays a 2 or rounds up to 3?
the tens place
the thousands place
the ones place
the hundreds place

Explanation:

To round a number to the nearest ten, you look at the digit in the ones place (the digit immediately to the right of the tens place). If this digit is 5 or greater, you round the tens digit up; if it is less than 5, the tens digit stays the same. For 1,725, the tens digit is 2, and the ones digit is 5, which tells us to round the 2 up to 3.

Answer:

The ones place
