Math Problem Statement

Is each number rounded correctly to the nearest ten thousand?

Solution

Let's analyze each number and check if it has been rounded correctly to the nearest ten thousand:

  1. 455,000 → 456,000:

    • To round to the nearest ten thousand, we look at the thousands place (5).
    • Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
    • 455,000 becomes 460,000, not 456,000.
    • Answer: No.
  2. 37,056 → 40,000:

    • Look at the thousands place (7).
    • Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
    • 37,056 becomes 40,000, which is correct.
    • Answer: Yes.
  3. 10,432 → 20,000:

    • Look at the thousands place (0).
    • Since 0 is less than 5, we round down.
    • 10,432 should be rounded to 10,000, not 20,000.
    • Answer: No.
  4. 286,910 → 290,000:

    • Look at the thousands place (6).
    • Since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
    • 286,910 becomes 290,000, which is correct.
    • Answer: Yes.

So the correct responses are:

    1. No
    1. Yes
    1. No
    1. Yes

Tip: When rounding, always look at the digit to the right of the place value you're rounding to (e.g., thousands place when rounding to ten thousand).
