9660 rounded to the nearest thousand.

first, find the number in the thousands place. It is the 9. Now look to the number directly to the right of it.
** if that number is 5 or above, u round the 9 up to 10.
** if that number is 4 or below, that 9 stays the same.

that number directly to the right of 9 is 6. It is above 5, therefore, u round the 9 up to a 10.

so 9660 rounded to the nearest thousand is 10,000. Because , after all, 9660 is closer to 10,000 then it is to 9000.
