Answer 1

Its 1,000 because its 981 right so you have to use a line so you'll see where 981 is.

Answer 2

We get 1,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand.

Explanation:

Consider the provided number 981.

Here, we need to round off to the nearest thousand.

The rule of rounding a number is:

If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 follow the number, then no need to change the rounding digit.

If 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 follow the number, then rounding digit rounds up by one number.

Round the number by using following steps:

Step 1: Identify the thousand place and underline it.

0981.

Step 2: Find the right digit to the thousand place. i.e 9

Here 9 is greater than 5 so rounds up the rounding digit by one number.

Step 3: 0981 = 1,000

Therefore, we get 1,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand.
