Round 76 to the nearest 3
Rounding means approximating
Find our target digit
Find our 2 possible answers:
Multiplying 3 by 25 gives us 75Multiplying 3 by 26 gives us 78
Therefore, our answer is either 75 or 78
Determine the difference between our number 76 and 2 possible answers:
The difference between our first possible answer is: 76 - 75 = 1The difference between our second possible answer is: 78 - 76 = 2
Since the smallest of these two numbers is 1, we use our 1st
76 rounded to the nearest 3 = 75
75
