Rounding Numbers up to a Million: Rounding to nearest 1,000 and 10,000

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given information
• Step 2: Apply rounding rules for nearest 1,000
• Step 3: Select the correct choice based on the rounded value

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: The given number is 17,115. We need to round it to the nearest value among the choices.

Step 2: To round to the nearest 1,000, we look at the hundreds digit in 17,115, which is 1 (as in '115'). According to rounding rules, since 1 is less than 5, we round down.

Step 3: Rounding 17,115 to the nearest 1,000 results in 17,000.

According to the choices, the correct rounded answer is $17,000$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit of 16,890, which is 8.
• Step 2: Apply the rounding rule: Since 8 is between 5 and 9, we round up.
• Step 3: Round 16,890 up to 17,000.

Given these steps, let's work through the rounding:

The number 16,890 has a hundreds digit of 8. According to the rounding rule, this requires us to round up to the next thousand.

Therefore, 16,890 rounded to the nearest thousand is $17,000$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit of the number $67,437$.
• Step 2: Apply the rounding rule for the nearest thousand.
• Step 3: Determine the rounded number and compare it with the given choices.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The hundreds digit of $67,437$ is 4.
Step 2: Since the hundreds digit is less than 5, we round down. According to the rules of rounding to the nearest thousand, the digits following the thousands place become zero.
Step 3: Therefore, rounding $67,437$ to the nearest thousand results in $67,000$.

The solution to the problem is $67,000$, which corresponds to answer choice 1.

To solve this problem, we'll round the number $5,617$ to the nearest multiple of $1,000$ using the standard rounding rules.

Here's how we can do it:

• First, we need to look at the hundreds digit of $5,617$. This digit is $6$.
• According to the rounding rule: - If the hundreds digit is $5$ or greater, we round up. - If the hundreds digit is $4$ or less, we round down.
• Since the hundreds digit here is $6$, which is greater than $5$, we will round $5,617$ up to the nearest $1,000$.

This means $5,617$ rounds to $6,000$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $6,000$.

To solve this rounding problem, we will proceed with the following steps:

• Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit in $48,246$.
• Step 2: Apply the rounding rule to determine the nearest thousand.

Now, let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The number given is $48,246$. The hundreds digit in this number is $2$.

Step 2: According to rounding rules, if the hundreds digit (which is $2$) is less than $5$, we round down to the nearest thousand. This means we will round $48,246$ down to $48,000$.

Therefore, after rounding $48,246$ to the nearest thousand, the approximate value is $48,000$.

The correct choice from the options provided is $48,000$.

To solve this problem, we will determine the correct approximation by rounding the number 24,380 to the nearest thousand. Here's how:

• Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit of the number 24,380. This digit is 3 (from 380).
• Step 2: Apply the rounding rule: If the hundreds digit is 5 or greater, round up. If it is less than 5, round down.
• Step 3: Since the hundreds digit is 3, which is less than 5, we round down.

This means rounding 24,380 to the nearest thousand gives us 24,000. Therefore, the solution to the problem is:

$24,000$.

To solve this problem, we will round the number $48,850$ to the nearest thousand as follows:

• Step 1: Identify the relevant digits. Here, $48,850$ has a thousands digit of 8 and a hundreds digit of 8.
• Step 2: Apply the rounding rule. Since the hundreds digit (8) is 5 or greater, we round up.
• Step 3: Calculate the result. Rounding $48,850$ up from the thousands digit gives us $49,000$.

Therefore, the solution is $49,000$.
