Question

Round 4,279 to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

Answer: 4,000

Explanation: To round 4,279 to the nearest thousand, we first locate the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 4 in the thousands place.

Next, we look at the digit to the right of the 4 which is 2. The rules of rounding tell us that if the digit to the right of the rounding place is less than 5, we round down and if the digit to the right of the rounding place is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

In this problem, the digit to the right of the rounding place is less than 5 so we round down. This means that the 4 in the rounding place stays the same and all digits to the right of the 4 become zero.

Therefore, 4,279 rounded to the nearest thousand is 4,000.
