The tens place of number 75847 is 75850, here we need to round off the tens place of number 47 to 50. 2. The hundreds place of number 75847 is 75800, here we need to round off the hundreds place of number 847 to 800.

Answer:

Explanation:

To round off numbers to a specified place value, follow these general rules:

1. Identify the digit at the specified place value.

2. Look at the digit to the right of the specified place value (the digit one place to the right).

3. If the right-hand digit is 5 or greater, increase the digit at the specified place value by 1 and replace all digits to the right with zeros.

4. If the right-hand digit is less than 5, simply truncate (remove) all digits to the right.

Here's how you can apply this to an example like 7584 rounded to the tens place:

1. The tens place in 7584 is the digit 8.

2. The digit to the right of the tens place is 4.

3. Since 4 is less than 5, we simply truncate all digits to the right.

4. So, rounding 7584 to the tens place results in 7580.

Here are a few more examples:

- Rounding 12345 to the hundreds place: The hundreds place is 3, and the right-hand digit is 4 (less than 5), so it becomes 12300.

- Rounding 9876 to the thousands place: The thousands place is 9, and the right-hand digit is 7 (5 or greater), so it becomes 9900.

- Rounding 456789 to the tens of thousands place: The tens of thousands place is 4, and the right-hand digit is 6 (5 or greater), so it becomes 460000.
