Question

Find the height of Mt. Whitney in the table. round the height to the nearest thousand feet. 14,494

Answer 1

14,000 because the 4 in the hundreds place tells you to keep the 4 in the thousands place.

4 or less let it rest, 5 or more raise the score.

Answer 2

Note the thousands place (bolded): 14494.

Round to the nearest thousands, look at the number in the place value to the right. It is a 4. Because 4 is less than 5, round down

14,494 rounded to the nearest thousand is 14000.

hope this helps
