The question asks for the nearest ten thousand of the number 34,567.
To find the nearest ten thousand, we need to look at the thousands digit. If the thousands digit is 5 or more, then we round up to the next ten thousand. If it's less than 5, we round down to the current ten thousand.
Let's break down the number 34567:
- The units digit is 7
- The tens digit is 6
- The hundreds digit is 5
- The thousands digit is 4
- The ten thousands digit is 3
Having look into the thousands digit, which is 4, we see that it is less than 5. Therefore, we don't round up to the next ten thousand, so we keep the current ten thousand which is 30000.
So the nearest ten thousand of the number 34,567 is 30,000.
Or to put it in another way:
The number 34,567 is closer to 30,000 than to the next ten thousand mark, which would be 40,000. As the thousands digit in 34,567 is less than 5, the number is rounded down to 30,000.
Hence, the nearest ten thousand of the number 34,567 is 30,000.
So the correct answer is a) 30,000.
