Answer:
1) 675,000.
2) 356,000
Explanation:
There are some rules to round off to the nearest thousand.
1. While rounding off to the nearest thousand, if the digit in the hundreds place is between 0 – 4 i.e., < 5, then the hundreds place is replaced by ‘0’.
2. If the digit in the hundreds place is = to or > 5, then the hundreds place is replaced by ‘0’ and the thousands place is increased by 1.
We have given two numerals:
1) 674,620
According to the second rule defined the digit at the hundreds place is greater than 5 than the thousands place will be increased by 1.
The answer is 675,000.
2) 355,500
According to the second rule defined the digit at the hundreds place is greater than 5 than the thousands place will be increased by 1.
The answer is 356,000....
