    • D.

      135

    Correct Answer
    C. 130
    Explanation
    When rounding a number to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the ones place. If it is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, we round down to the previous ten. If it is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, we round up to the next ten. In this case, the digit in the ones place is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up. Therefore, 134.9 rounded to tens will give us 140. However, none of the given options is 140. Therefore, the correct answer is 130, which is the previous ten.

    Explanation
    The number 4.56 can be rounded up to 4.6 because the digit to the right of the desired decimal place is 5 or greater. In rounding, if the digit to the right is 5 or greater, the digit to the left is increased by 1. Therefore, 4.56 is rounded up to 4.6.
