Rounding and Estimating Numbers

Well, let's give 542 a little hug and see where it belongs. When we round 542 to the nearest hundred, we find that it is closest to 500. So, 542 rounded to the nearest hundred is 500. Just a happy little rounding!

To round 12.4 to the nearest whole number, we look at the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 12.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 12.

36,000 is already an even thousand, so there is no other thousand

that's closer to it than 36,000 is.

To express 0.178 as a hundredth, you would move the decimal point two places to the right. This gives you 17.8 hundredths. In fraction form, this can be written as 17/100.

Well, isn't that a happy little question! To round 29876 to the nearest ten thousand, we look at the digit in the ten thousand place, which is 2. The digit to its right is 9, which is 5 or greater, so we round the 2 up to 3. So, 29876 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 30000. Just a little adjustment to make things nice and tidy!

To round 4286 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 8 in this case. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next thousand. Therefore, 4286 rounded to the nearest thousand is 5000.

To round 4286 to the nearest 100, we look at the hundreds place, which is the second digit from the right. In this case, the hundreds place is 8. Since 8 is closer to 0 than to 100, we round down to the nearest 100. Therefore, 4286 rounded to the nearest 100 is 4200.

When rounding 18.05 to the nearest whole number, you look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is 0. Since 0 is less than 5, the digit in the tenths place remains the same, making 18.05 rounded to 18.

To round 102.4 to the nearest whole number, we look at the decimal part, which is 0.4. Since 0.4 is greater than or equal to 0.5, we round up the whole number part, which is 102. Therefore, 102.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 103.

582 rounded to the nearest ten is 580.

13000

87000

When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target, in this case, the tens place. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one.

6318 rounds down to 6300

Well, darling, the decimals you're looking for are 0.199 and 0.201. When rounded to the nearest tenth, both of these bad boys give you 0.2. And when rounded to the nearest hundredth, one becomes 0.20 while the other stays at 0.20. Ta-da!

To round 5.2182 to the nearest thousandth, we look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is the 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the hundredths place, which is the 1. Therefore, 5.2182 rounded to the nearest thousandth is 5.218.

To round 23456 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 4 in this case. Since 4 is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, the nearest thousand to 23456 is 23000.

640

100

Well, honey, the greatest number that can be rounded off to the nearest hundreds is 99. See, when you're rounding off to the nearest hundreds, you're looking at the last two digits. Anything from 50 to 99 will round up to 100. So, in this case, 99 is the top dog.

736 to the nearest 1000 is 1000. When rounding to the nearest 1000, you look at the hundreds place of the number in question. Since the hundreds place in 736 is less than 500, you round down to the nearest 1000, which is 1000.

Well, darling, 273 rounded to the nearest 1000 is still 0. Because when you're playing in the big leagues of thousands, 273 doesn't even make the cut. So, keep dreaming big, honey, but 273 stays put in the hundreds club.

6.71, 6.72

It is 530 because 2 is less than 5

To round 1.63 to the nearest whole number, we look at the decimal part. Since the decimal part is 0.63, which is greater than 0.5, we round up the whole number. Therefore, 1.63 rounded to the nearest whole number is 2.

800

840 . Go back 40 places to 800, or go forward 60 places to 900.

Since 40 < 60 , then 840 isnearer to 800.
