Question

12,598 round to nearest thousand​

Answer 1

13,000 because 5 can round up but under 5 can’t

Answer 2

13,000

Explanation:

If you're rounding something to the nearest thousand, you are taking the closest number to that thousand (in this case it's 5) and rounding that number up or down, depending.

5 is closer to 10 than 0, so 5 becomes 10.

This means you make the place where 5 is 0, and add 1 to the next place over (which is 2).

So 2 + 1 = 3.

You turn every number before the 5 into 0, no matter what number it is.

So 13,098 becomes 13,000, which is your answer
