Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze each number and check if it has been rounded correctly to the nearest ten thousand:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
- No
-
- Yes
-
- No
-
- Yes
