Question

Write three numbers that round to 32,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand.

Answer 1

32,456

32,123

31,723

Explanation:

To round a number to the nearest 1000, look at the digit next to thousand digit. If this next digit is 5 or more round up, else round down. Change all digits to the right of the thousands digit to 0

32, 456 ==> thousand place = 2 , next digit = 4 hence round down to 32, 000

31,723 ==> thousand digit is 1, next digit is 7 so round up to 32,000

Answer 2

Explanation:

Three numbers that round to 32,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand are:

31,500

31,750

32,250

When rounded to the nearest thousand, 31,500 rounds down to 32,000, 31,750 rounds up to 32,000, and 32,250 rounds up to 33,000.
