Question

Name the place value to which each number was rounded

Answer 1

It could either be ones, tens, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands and so on.

For example:

To round off the height value to the nearest thousand we can use the expanded from to clarity the position of numbers which is: 
10, 000 = ten thousand 
4, 000 = thousands 
400 = hundreds 
90 = tens 
4 = ones 
Here we can notice than four thousand is the value where the nearest thousands is placed. Hence we can round off the number of 14, 494 into 14, 000. Notice 0-4 rounding off rules.
