Question

Round 3,204 to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

3,000

Explanation:

the thousands place is where the 3 is and we look at the number next to it if it is 5 or over we round up or if it’s under 5 we round down and since 2 is under 5 we round down to 3,000

Answer 2

to round to the nearest thousand, we have to look at the hundreds place. In this case, there is a 2 in the hundreds place, which is less than 5. Then, the 3 in the thousands place must be kept. In conclusion, 3,204 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000
