Question

Round to the nearest ten thousands with 940,000

Answer 1

940,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Where is the 10-thousands place?

The 4 is in it.

Look to the right of it. What digit is there? If it's 5 or bigger, round the 4 up to a 5. If it's 4 or less, the 4 doesn't change.

It's a zero, so no need to round:

940,000

Answer 2

930,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To round a digit, in this case a digit in the 10 thousands place, you have to look at the digit next to it. If the digit next to it is 5 or up, round to the nearest larger ten thousand. If the digit is less than 5, round to the nearest lesser ten thousand.

In 940,000, 4 is in the 10 thousands place. The digit next to it is 0, so round down. The nearest lesser ten thousand is 3, so the number becomes 930,000.
