What is 368,492 rounded to the nearest ten-thousands?
Answer:
\(368,492\) rounded to the nearest ten-thousands is \(370000.\)
Explanation:
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: \(370000\)
7 is in the thousandths place and 5 is in the ten thousandths place.
