Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

The number given is 9,576,900 and the digit 7 is underlined.

To round the number to the place value of the underlined digit:

  1. Identify the place value of the underlined digit 7: In this case, the digit 7 is in the hundred thousands place.
  2. Look at the digit to the right of the underlined digit, which is 6 (in the ten thousands place).
  3. Since 6 is 5 or more, you round up the underlined digit 7 to 8.

So, rounding 9,576,900 to the nearest hundred thousand gives us 9,600,000.
