Question

Jessie says to round 763,400 to the nearest ten thousand, he will round to 770,000 is he right ? explain

Answer 1

No he is not right because if you would look to the right 3 is smaller than the number 5 so you have to round down therfore that answer is 760000

Answer 2

For this case we have the following definition:

ten thousand place: number of five digits whose absolute value is greater than zero.

Then, we have the following rounding rule:

1) If the previous number is greater than or equal to five, then the next number increases by one unit.

2) If the previous number is less than or equal to five, then the next number remains the same.

We then have the following number:

763,400

Rounding to the nearest ten thousand we have:

760,000

Answer:

Jessie is wrong. The correct answer is:

760,000
