Question #317fe

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

The ten thousandth spot is two digits to the left of the comma:

`2color(red)(4)7,919`

If the digit in the thousand position (just to the left of the comma) is greater than or equal to `5` we need to add `1` to the digit in the ten thousand spot and change all of the digits to the right to `0`.

If the digit in the thousand position is less than `5` we just need to change all of the digits to the right to `0`.

For this problem, the digit in the ten thousand position is a `7` which is greater than or equal to `5` so we need to add `1` to the digit in the ten thousand spot and change all of the digits to the right to `0`.

`2color(red)(4)7,919 => 2color(red)(5)0,000` rounded to the nearest ten thousand.

Answer 2

See below

`250,000`

Explanation:

To round 247,919 to the nearest ten thousand, find the number in the `10,000` place which is the `4`

Next look at the number one place to the right to see if you need to round up. This number is a `9`. When numbers are `5` or greater, the place immediately to the left (ten thousands place), needs to increase by one.

Each of the digits to the right are changed to `0`.

This would make the number `250,000`
