"only accurate to the tens place" really means "if it was rounded to the nearest multiple of 10.

So if you round each of those to the nearest multiple of 10, which one is different from the others?

@DebbieG uh, April? (14)

anonymous · Answer

yes. because its the only one to round to 10 and not 20

debbieg · Answer

Right. Because the other 3 will go UP to 20. 14 will go DOWN to 10.
