Answer 1

Answer:

Largest : 404000

Smallest : 395000

Step-by-step explanation:

At president Bush's inauguration in 2005,the newspaper headlines stated there were about 400,000 people in attendance.

As the newspaper rounded to the nearest ten thousand , so the largest number of people will be = 404000  (if it were 405000, it will round to 410000 which is wrong)

The smallest number or people will be = 395000

Answer 2

The smallest would have been 35,000.  The largest would have been 44,999.
