Question

Round the number to the nearest thousand Add 27,498 + 4,657

Answer 1

Answer:

32000

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 27,498 + 4,657 you will get 32,155 if you count the positions by 5 = ones 5 = tens 1 = hundreds 2 = Thousands, now what you want to do is focus on the numbers below 2 thousand 32,155 now look over to the hundreds place you can see that there is a 1 there and if a number that is not higher than 5 it will not round up to the higher number let's say we had 75 cookies and we needed to round it to the nearest tens since we have a 5 it will be 80 cookies. So then you would round it to 32,000. You may be wondering why there are 0s and not the numbers? After you round the number you need to reset the numbers/value below it to 0.

Answer 2

Answer:

32000

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add before we round

27,498 + 4,657

I like to line it up vertically

27,498

+ 4,657

-------------------

32,155

We are rounding to the nearest thousand

We are rounding the 2 so we look at the 1

1<5 so we will leave the 2 alone

32155 rounds to 32000
