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 analyze each number:
-
5,792,400: The underlined digit is 7.
- Place Value: Hundred thousands (100,000).
- Number: 5,792,400. To round to the nearest hundred thousand, we look at the digit in the ten thousand place, which is 9. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
- Rounded Number: 5,800,000.
-
4,566,900: The underlined digit is 5.
- Place Value: Hundred thousands (100,000).
- Number: 4,566,900. 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: 4,600,000.
-
3,940,629: The underlined digit is 6.
- Place Value: Thousands (1,000).
- Number: 3,940,629. To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 6. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
- Rounded Number: 3,941,000.
-
9,576,900: The underlined digit is 5.
- Place Value: Hundred thousands (100,000).
- Number: 9,576,900. To round to the nearest hundred thousand, we look at the digit in the ten thousand place, which is 7. Since it's 5 or higher, we round up.
- Rounded Number: 9,600,000.
-
566,835: The underlined digit is 8.
- Place Value: Hundreds (100).
- Number: 566,835. To round to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is 3. Since it's less than 5, we round down.
- Rounded Number: 566,800.
