Question

There were 18,652 geese on a lake. What is this number rounded to the ten
thousands place?​

Answer 1

`\boxed{20,000}`

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well the ten thousands number is 1 and the 1rst thousands place number is 8 so since 8 is more than 5 we have to round 1 UP to 2,

so the answer is 20,000.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

20,000

Explanation:

To round a number to the nearest ten thousands place, we have to look at the thousand place and see whether it crosses the "hill" of 5 as it's digit.

The thousand digit is 8, so it will round UP, making 18,652 become 20,000.

Hope this helped!
