My teacher asked me to round 64,400 to the nearest thousand. I think that the answer is 65,000. Did I round correctly?

Answer: unfortunately no

Explanation:

When rounding numbers...

if the number is less than 5, round down. Other than that 5 and up you round up.

You rounded up, 4 to 5 thousand. 4 is less than 5 so you should had rounded down, your answer is 60,000
