53 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{gathered} \text{given:} \\ 52.82\text{ seconds} \\ \\ 5\text{ = tens value} \\ 2\text{ = unit value} \\ 8\text{ = tenth value} \\ 2\text{ = hundredth valuegiven:} \\ \end{gathered}

To round to the nearest seconds, we round the next number after the decimal point


\begin{gathered} \text{if the number is greater than 5, we round to 1, then add to the number before the decimal point} \\ \text{if the number is less than 5, we round to zero, then add to the number before the decimal point} \\ \\ \text{the number after the decimal point = 8} \\ it\text{ is greater than 5} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{when we round, it becomes 1} \\ \text{Add to the number before the point:} \\ nu\text{mber before point = 5}2 \\ 52\text{ + 1 = 53} \end{gathered}
To\text{ the nearest seconds, 53 seconds}
