Round to the place value of the underlined digit 9,767

Solution

The underlined digit in 9,767 is likely a 7. To round this number to the place value of the underlined digit, we follow these steps:

  1. The underlined digit (7) is in the tens place.
  2. Look at the digit immediately to its right, which is 6.
  3. If this digit is 5 or greater, you round the 7 up to 8.
  4. Since 6 is greater than 5, we round up.
