Answer:
124,000 can be the actual number
Explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the number
- The number of visitors to the park is 120,000 visitors rounded
to the nearest ten thousands
- The round to nearest digit means look to the digit before this
digit if < 5 we put all the digits before the rounded digit zero and
keep it as it, if the number before the rounded digit is ≥ 5 we put
all the digits before the rounded digit zero and add the rounded
digit by 1
- Ex:
# To round 12,345 to the nearest thousand look to the hundred
digit (3), 3 < 5 , then the rounded number is 12,000
# To round 12,745 to the nearest thousand look to the hundred
digit (7), 7 > 5 , then the rounded number is 13,000
- To find the actual number lets do these steps
1. Divide the ten thousands by 2
∵ 10,000 ÷ 2 = 5,000
2. Add the result and subtract the result from the rounded number
∵ 120,000 - 5000 = 115,000
∵ 120,000 + 5000 = 125,500
3. The actual number is between these two numbers
∴ 115,000 ≤ actual number < 125,000
- Remember: we can not take the number 125,000 as the actual
number because when we round it to the nearest ten thousand
the answer will be 130,000
∴ You can chose any numbers belongs to this range
* I will chose 124,000 can be the actual number
