Answer 1

The number 413,598 rounded to the nearest thousand is 414,000, as you round up the thousands place from 3 to 4 because the hundreds place has a digit of 5 or greater.option d is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding 413,598 to the nearest thousand, we should look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 5 in this case. Since the digit is 5 or greater, we round up the number in the thousands place.

The thousands digit in 413,598 is 3, so when we round up, that becomes 4, making the proper rounded number 414,000.

To illustrate with a step by step process:

1. Identify the digit in the thousands place: In 413,598, it is '3'.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the thousands place, which is in the hundreds place: In this case, it is '5'.
3. If this number is 5 or more, you round up the thousands digit by 1. If it is less than 5, you do not change the thousands digit.
4. Replace all digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros.
5. The final answer is 414,000.
