Answer 1

Jerry is rounding to the nearest hundred thousands. Note the place of the hundred thousands (it will be underlined): 2,684,735.

Look at the place value to the right (ten thousands place) the number is an 8. Because 8 is greater than 5, round up

2,684,735 rounded to the hundred thousands is 2,700,000 or (D)

hope this helps
