What is 5 rounded to the nearest ten?

Answer

5 rounded to the nearest ten is
10

Nearest ten — the ones digit decides: 5⁠–⁠9 round up, 0⁠–⁠4 keep; digits to the right become 0.

Exactly halfway between 0 and 10 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 10. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 0.
