Answer: 50,000
Step-by-step explanation: To round 52,864 to the nearest ten thousand, we first find the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 5 in the ten thousands place.
Next, we look at the digit to the right of 5 which is 2.
Since the digit to the right of the rounding
place is less 5, we round down.
So the 5 in the rounding place stays the same and all digits to the right of the rounding pace become 0.
So 52,864 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 50,000.
