when a number is rounded to 400,000 when rounded to nearest 100 thousand and rounded to 350,000 when rounded to nearest ten thousand what is a possible number

Let’s call the number we’re looking for “x”. If x is rounded to 400,000 when rounded to the nearest 100,000 and rounded to 350,000 when rounded to the nearest 10,000, then we know that x must be between 375,000 and 424,999.

This is because if we round x down to the nearest 100,000, we get 300,000 (since it rounds down to the nearest hundred thousand), and if we round x up to the nearest 100,000, we get 500,000 (since it rounds up to the nearest hundred thousand). Therefore, x must be between these two numbers.

Similarly, if we round x down to the nearest 10,000, we get 340,000 (since it rounds down to the nearest ten thousand), and if we round x up to the nearest 10,000, we get 359,999 (since it rounds up to the nearest ten thousand). Therefore, x must be between these two numbers as well.

Therefore, a possible number that satisfies these conditions is any number between 375,000 and 424,999 that rounds to 400,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand and 350,000 when rounded to the nearest ten thousand.

I hope that helps!
