Question

Write a 5-digit number that when rounded to the nearest thousand and hundred will have a result that is the same. Explain

Answer 1

10000,10000,10000,10000,10000,10000

Answer 2

99,999.

Explanation:

We are asked to write a 5-digit number that when rounded to the nearest thousand and hundred will have a result that is the same.

We know that when the next digit to rounded digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; then we keep the same digit.

When the next digit to rounded digit is 5 or more than 5; then we round up our answer by one digit.

In our five-digit number each digit would be same.

Let use take 6 as:

`66,666`

To nearest hundred:
`66,666\approx 66,700`

To nearest thousand:
`66,666\approx 67,000`

Let us take 9:

`99,999`

To nearest hundred:
`99,999\approx 100,000`

To nearest thousand:
`99,999\approx 100,000`

Therefore, our required digit is 99,999.
