Answer 2

`140,250\approx 100,000`

`10,450\approx 10,500`

`126,234\approx 126,000`

Explanation:

We have been given 3 numbers. We are asked to round our given numbers to underlined digit.

A. 140,250

We can see that 1 is underlined and next digit to 1 is 4, which is less than 5, so we will round down our answer to nearest hundred thousands.

`140,250\approx 100,000`

B. 10,450

We can see that 4 is underlined and next digit to 4 is 5, which is equal to 5, so we will round up our answer to nearest hundred place.

`10,450\approx 10,500`

C. 126,234

We can see that 6 is underlined and next digit to 6 is 2, which is less than 5, so we will round down our answer to nearest thousands place.

`126,234\approx 126,000`
