Rounding off the following to the nearest 5
1. 329
2. 77 498
3. 67 416
4. 476 467
5. 324 425

Answer 1

To round off a number to the nearest 5, you look at the last digit. If it is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round down to the nearest multiple of 5. If it is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round up to the nearest multiple of 5.

Let's apply this to your numbers:

1. **329**
- Last digit: 9 (which is 5 or more)
- Nearest multiple of 5: 330
- Rounded value: **330**

2. **77,498**
- Last digit: 8 (which is 5 or more)
- Nearest multiple of 5: 77,500
- Rounded value: **77,500**

3. **67,416**
- Last digit: 6 (which is 5 or more)
- Nearest multiple of 5: 67,415
- Rounded value: **67,415**

4. **476,467**
- Last digit: 7 (which is 5 or more)
- Nearest multiple of 5: 476,470
- Rounded value: **476,470**

5. **324,425**
- Last digit: 5 (round up)
- Nearest multiple of 5: 324,425 (it is already a multiple of 5)
- Rounded value: **324,425**

Here are the rounded values:

1. 330
2. 77,500
3. 67,415
4. 476,470
5. 324,425
