Question

Round 2,461,612,242 to the nearest billion

Answer 1

2,000,000,000.

Explanation:

We know that when rounding, we take a look at the digit next to the digit we are rounding. So if I were to ask for you to round 122 to the nearest hundred, then the answer would be 100.

Remember that we round down if the digit next to it is 0-4. If the digit is 5-9, then we round up.

In this case, the digit next to the 2 is a 4. We know that we round down with a 4, so we go to the nearest whole billion, in this case 2 billion.

I hope this helps!
