Approximate the value of 44

40. When rounding, you must know that anything below 5 or more is counted as "round down," instead of round up. Now the answer could either be 40 or 50. Anything other is way too big or small. Like we said, 5 or more goes up. Now, round 44. The answer is 40.

40

Step-by-step explanation:

If the one value is between 0 and 4, it remains 40. If the one value is higher than 5, then it approximates to 50.

Eg.

If you were the approximate 46, then it would be rounded to 50.

If you were to approximate 44, then it would be rounded to 40.
