- Determine the two consecutive multiples of 10 that bracket 87.2
- 87.2 is between 80 and 90
- 85 is the midpoint between 80 and 90
- As illustrated on the number line, 87.2 is greater than the midpoint (85)
- Therefore, 87.2 rounded to the nearest ten = 90
87.2 rounded to the nearest ten with a number line
