Question

1- In 2010, the island of Guam had 159,358 people living there. What is the number of people living in Guam rounded to the nearest ten thousand?

Answer 1

160,000

Explanation:

To round to the nearest ten thousand (10000) we must bring it closer to the nearest value, in this case it would be like this:

`\begin{gathered} 159,358\rightarrow\text{ ten thousand }\rightarrow59,358 \\ 59,358\cong60,000 \\ \text{therefore} \\ 159,358\cong160,000 \end{gathered}`
