Math Problem Statement

A number was rounded to the nearest ten and the result was 670. Write the least possible number that it could have been.

Solution

The question asks to find the least possible number that could have been rounded to 670 when rounding to the nearest ten.

Solution:

When rounding to the nearest ten, numbers from 665 to 674 round to 670.

The least possible number within this range is 665, because:

  • Any number from 665 to 669 rounds down to 670.
  • Any number from 670 to 674 rounds up to 670.

Thus, the least possible number is 665.
