Question

What is 8,325 rounded to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

First we look at the thousands place. We see the number is 8. We need to look at the number next to it which is 3. If the number is 4 or lower we round down, but if the number is 5 or higher we round up. The number is 3 so we keep the 8 and the rest of the numbers turn to 0's making it round to 8,000

Answer 2

The answer will be 8,000 because 8 can't go into 3. So you will round down
