8. The population of a town is 3,433 . What is the population rounded to the nearest ten?

To round the population of the town, which is 3,433, to the nearest ten, we follow these steps: 1. Identify the digit in the tens place. In 3,433, the tens digit is 3 (the second digit from the right). 2. Look at the digit to the right of the tens place, which is the units place. In this case, the units digit is 3. 3. If the units digit is 5 or greater, we round up the tens digit by 1. If it is less than 5, we keep the tens digit the same. Since the units digit is 3 (which is less than 5), we will keep the tens digit (3) the same. Thus, rounding 3,433 to the nearest ten gives us: - The tens place remains 3, and the units place becomes 0. Therefore, the rounded population is 3,430.
