Question

Round each number to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand:6,999

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} Tens:7,000 \\ \\ Hundreds:7,000 \\ \\ Thousands:7,000 \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to round the given number to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand.

To round a number to any given place, if the number in the place value after the given place is greater than or equal to 5, round up but if the number is less than 5, round down.

To round the number to the nearest ten, apply the rule above to the number in the units place value:

`6,999\approx7,000`

To round the number to the nearest hundred, apply the rule to the number in the tens place value:

`6,999\approx7,000`

To round the number to the nearest thousand, apply the rule to the number in the hundreds place value:

`6,999\approx7,000`

That is the answer.
