What is 307,495 rounded to the nearest thousand?
1 Answer
Explanation:
A number rounded to "the nearest thousand", must be multiple of 1000.
In this case the value would be 306,000 or 307,000, or 308,000 or 309,000, depending on which of these our given number is closest (nearest) to.
To decide whether to round up or down, look and the digit in the hundreds place. If it is a digit less than 5, the number rounds DOWN.
If it is a digit 5 or more, the number rounds UP.
