This is annoying, because you say to the nearest the nearest (for example) ten, and you use the number ahead of the number that you are rounding to. Well if you are going to do it in that method then what would the answer be to 1378 rounding to the nearest thousand be using that method? The answer is, you cannot have an answer using that method. In other words it is useless. I think the correct way to determine the answer is to use the numbers before it. the answer to my example question is 1000. I am upset because of the way you guys do this! It is stupid. And I am not saying I am smarter than you or trying to be rude.
