Question:

The area of the state of Alaska is about 572,000 square miles. What is this number rounded to the nearest hundred thousand?

Solution:

572,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

You have to look at the number in the ten thousand place:

572,000

Which is 7

Then you will round up because 4 and below you round down, 5 and above you round up.

600,000

Final Answer:

600,000

Hope This Helps!
