Given:

Round #368,492# to the nearest ten-thousands.

If you look at the chart, you can see that the digit #6# is in the ten-thousands place. Now you need to look at the digit after #6#. If it is less than #5#, keep the #6# the same, and if it is greater than #5#, round the #6# up to #7#.

Since the #6# is followed by an #8#, round up to #7#. The answer to the ten-thousands place is:

#370000#
