well because the hundred thousandth place is 100,000  200,000  300,000 etc. then the nearest to 89,659 would be 100,000

Answer:

100,000


Step-by-step explanation:

To round a number to the nearest hundred thousands, we need to check the digit in the ten thousands position:

1- If this digit is less than 5, we will round down. This means that the digit in the hundred thousands position will remain the same and all digits after it will be converted to zeroes

2- If this digit is equal to or greater than 5, we will round up. This means that we will add one to the digit in the hundred thousands position and convert all digit after it to zeroes


Now, the given number is:

89,659

The digit in the hundred thousands position is 0

The digit in the ten thousands position is 8 which is greater than 5. Therefore, we will round up following rule 2 written above

This means that 89,659 rounded to the nearest hundred thousands would be 100,000


Hope this helps :)
