Final answer:
To round the number 539,904 to each place value, one must consider the digit in that place and the digit immediately to its right, rounding up if it's 5 or more. The results are 540,000 for ten thousand, 540,000 for thousand, 539,900 for hundred, 539,910 for ten, and 539,904 for one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Round to Each Place Value
To round the number 539,904 to each place value, we look at the digit in the place we are rounding to and the digit immediately to its right. Here's how we would round 539,904:
- To the nearest ten thousand: 540,000 (The '9' in the thousand's place is 5 or more, so the '3' in ten thousand's place goes up by one.)
- To the nearest thousand: 540,000 (The '9' in the hundred's place is 5 or more, so the '9' in the thousand's place remains and we round up.)
- To the nearest hundred: 539,900 (The '0' in the ten's place is less than 5, so the '9' in the hundred's place stays the same.)
- To the nearest ten: 539,910 (The '4' in the one's place is less than 5, so the '0' in the ten's place stays the same but since we are rounding to tens we end with a zero.)
- To the nearest one: 539,904 (This is already at the nearest one, so it stays the same.)
This demonstrates the principle that when rounding off a number, the place value you are rounding to determines which digits are considered and potentially altered based on the value of the digit to the immediate right.
