The ten thousandths column is where the 2 is so if your rounding, go to the column before the 2 because your answer will be 120,000 or 130,000 etc if the one thousandth spot is 1, 2, 3, or 4, you keep it at 120,000 but if it’s 5, 6,7,8,9 your answer is 130,000 so in this case it’s a 1 so your answer is 120,000.
