Pls how can I round the following figures to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand (1)46,586 (2)213,340 (3)391,565

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sample Nearest 10 nearest hundred nearest thousand

1 46590 46500 47000

2 213340 213300 213000

3 391560 391600 392000

The table above is actually the answers. The rule is this:

• If you want to round to the nearest 10, go to the tens place.
• Observe the units place
• If the units place is 5 or more, round the 10s place up one.
• Show the units place as a zero
• If the units place is 4 or less, leave the 10s place alone. Make the units place 0.
• Rounding to the tens place always gives a 0 at the units place

If you want to round to the 100s place

• Round the hundreds place using the five or more or 4 or less rule from the above rules.
• You should have 2 zeros at the end.

If you want to round to the 1000s place

• Round the thousands place using the five or more or 4 or less rule from the above rules.
• You should have 3 zeros at the end.
