Question

At president bushs inauguration in 2005 the news paper headlines stated there were about 400,000 people in attendance. If the newspaper rounded to the nearest ten thousand, what is the largest number and smallest number of people who could have been there

Answer 1

Answer: Largest = 404999

Smallest = 395,000.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of people in attendance = 400,000

Solution:

If we were to round off to the nearest ten thousand the greatest number we can get would be = 404999.

And following the same principle the smallest number we would be able to get would be = 395000

Therefore, the largest number of people who could have attended the inauguration would be 404999.

And the smallest number of people who could have attended would be 395000.
