Question

Round 4,343 to the nearest thousand.

Answer 1

4000. You need to round it to the nearest thousand, which would be the 4 at the start if you break it down into its units. Where from right to left, you have, 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s. Meaning you need to keep the first digit (unless the hundreds are 500+) and everything after should just be the thousands.

Answer 2

4000

Explanation:

Rounding off

in order to round of to the nearest thousand you have to look at the value after that number. meaning:

4,343

the first four from the left if the thousand , we have to now look at the number next to it. if this number is greater than 5 then the number rounded of would be 5000 , if its less than 5 it would be rounded off to 4000.

in this case it is 3 hence it is less than 5 . so it is rounded down to 4000

4,343 to the nearest thousand is 4000
