Question

I rounded 2639456 to the nearest ten-thousand and got 2630000 what did I do wrong?

Answer 1

Nine is higher than five so it would be 2,640,000

Answer 2

2,640,000

Explanation:

We have been given a number 2,639,456. We are asked to round our given number to nearest ten-thousand.

First of all, we will find place value of each digit as:

Ones: 6

Tens: 5

Hundreds: 4

Thousands: 9

Ten thousands: 3

Hundred thousands: 6

Millions: 2

We can see that ten thousands value is 3 and thousands value for our given number is 9.

Since thousands value for our given number is greater than 5, therefore, we will round up our answer to nearest ten thousands as:

`2,639,456\approx 2,640,000`

Therefore, our required number would be 2,640,000.
