Final answer:
To round 1,999,295 to the nearest ten, we look at the ones digit, which is 5. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up by adding 1 to the tens digit, carrying over as necessary to the left, resulting in 2,000,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to round the number 1,999,295 to the nearest ten. To round a number to the nearest ten, you look at the digit in the ones place. In the number 1,999,295, that digit is a 5. According to the rules of rounding, if the ones digit is 5 or more, you round up. If it's less than 5, you round down.
Since the ones digit is 5, we need to round up. This means adding 1 to the tens digit and changing the ones digit to 0. The tens digit in 1,999,295 is 9, so we add 1 to it resulting in 10, but since we cannot have a two-digit number in the tens place, we carry over the 1 to the thousands place. This makes the number 2,000,000 when rounded to the nearest ten.
Here's the step-by-step process:
- Identify the digit in the ones place (5 in this case).
- As the ones digit is 5 or more, round up.
- Add 1 to the tens place (9 + 1 = 10), and change the ones place digit to 0.
- Carry over the 1 to the thousands place, affecting the entire sequence of thousands and tens.
- The resulting number when rounded to the nearest ten is 2,000,000.
Therefore, 1,999,295 rounded to the nearest ten is 2,000,000.
