250

Because the digit 6 is greater than 5 we round up.

#250#

'To the nearest #10#'

means that the answer has to be given as a multiple of #10#.

So the answer must end in a #0#.

The possibilities would be something like:

#230" "or " "240" "or" "250" "or" "260#

#246.25# lies between #240 and 250#

A number from #245# will round up to #250#
A number less than #245# will round down to #240#

#246 > 245#, therefore it is closer to #250#
