Answer:

the number could be between 350,000 and 354,999

Explanation:

when calculating to the nearest hundred thousand

for instance, your number is in this format abc,def, the hundred thousand place is determined by "b".

So if the value of b is over 5, when approximating, 1 is added to a.

if the value of b is below 5, when approximating, 0 is added to a.

Therefore, 354,999 to the nearest hundred thousand is 400,000

when calculating to the nearest ten thousand

for instance, your number is in this format abc,def, the ten thousand place is determined by "c".

So if the value of c is over 5, when approximating, 1 is added to b.

if the value of c is below 5, when approximating, 0 is added to b.

Therefore, 354,999 to the nearest ten thousand is 350,000
