Math Problem Statement

How to round the following numbers to the place value of the underlined digits?

Solution

To round the numbers to the place value of the underlined digits, let's first identify each underlined digit and its corresponding place value:

  1. 9,566,220: The underlined digit is 5.

    • Place Value: Hundreds of thousands (100,000).
    • Number: 9,566,220. To round to the nearest hundred thousand, we look at the digit in the ten thousand place, which is 6. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
    • Rounded Number: 9,600,000.
  2. 3,000,866: The underlined digit is 8.

    • Place Value: Thousands (1,000).
    • Number: 3,000,866. To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 8. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
    • Rounded Number: 3,001,000.
  3. 824,530: The underlined digit is 5.

    • Place Value: Thousands (1,000).
    • Number: 824,530. To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 5. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
    • Rounded Number: 825,000.
