There were 8,670 attendees at a basketball game. Kayden thinks that rounds to about 9,000 total attendees, but Jonathan thinks that rounds to about 8,000 attendees. Who rounded correctly, Kayden or Jonathan? Use a number line to explain your thinking.

Answer:

Kayden

Explanation:

Kayden because the 6 is greater than 5, so that 8 becomes a 9 and everything else becomes a zero

Kayden is correct because 8,670 is closer than half on the number line
