Answer 2

1) 170,000

2) 446,220

3) 50,000

4) 7,800

Explanation:

When we round a number to the nearest hundred then we check the digit at tens place,

If the digit is less than 5 then the number is rounded to previous thousand and if it is 5 more than 5 it is rounded to the next thousand,

While, in the case of rounding nearest ten and ten thousand we check the digit at ones place and thousand place respectively.

1)168,356 to the nearest ten thousand is 170,000 ( ∵ thousand place digit = 8 > 5 )

2) 446,221 to the nearest ten is 446,220 ( ∵ ones place digit = 1 < 5 )

3) 45,122 to the nearest ten thousand is 50,000 ( ∵ thousand place digit = 5 ≥ 5 )

4) 7,782 to the nearest hundred is 7,800 ( ∵ tens place digit = 8 > 5 )
