Question

Round to the nearest ten thousand: 68,231

A. 69,000

B. 70,000

C. 68,000

D. 60,000

Answer 1

Hello there!

Your answer would be (68,00) because when rounding to the nearest 10th, we basically look at the tenth place.

6(8).

Number 8 is the 10th place, and it is over 5 to pass to line.

It goes right back up.
Your answer would be the (option b)

A. 69,000
B. 70,000
C. 68,000
D. 60,000

I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

The number 68,231 is closer to 70,000 than it is to 60,000

So the answer is choice B

Another way to see this answer is to drop everything after the 6 (which is what is in the ten-thousands digit place) and replace all of those dropped digits with 0s. We add 1 to the digit we didn't get rid of because the 8 after the 6 is larger than 5
