Answer 1

Given:

Population of Guam = 159,358

The number of people rounded to the nearest ten thousand is given by seeing the last four digits of the number,if they are greater than 5000 then we increase it else decrease it.

Therefore, in our case last four digits are 9358 that is greater than 5000 so the number of people rounded to nearest ten thousand is 160000.

Hence, the answer is 160000.
