To round a number to the nearest thousands, we will check the number is the hundreds position:
if the number in the hundreds position is smaller than 5, then we will convert all numbers after the thousands position to zeroes
if the number in the thousands position is equal to or greater than 5, we will add one to the thousands and convert all digits after it to zeroes.
The number we have is <span>2,042,822
Applying the above concept we will find that:
the number in the hundreds position is 8 which is greater than 5
Therefore:
</span>2,042,822 to the nearest thousands is <span>2,043,000</span>
In step 3: it should be m + n + o = o + p
Therefore the answer is C.
To perform the correct operation as to subtract numbers, make sure the denominators are the same, and then one can then subtract and remove a smaller number from the larger one.
This same method also holds true for adding fractions together as well.
Another way to subtract fractions is to convert them from fraction form to decimal form and then align the decimal points and subtract the values.
