You're working on a Grade 5 Rounding Worksheet titled “Mixed rounding: round numbers to the underlined digit.”

The key instruction is:
> Round to the accuracy of the underlined digit.

This means:
- Look at the digit that is underlined in each number.
- That digit tells you which place value you’re rounding to (e.g., thousands, hundreds, tens, etc.).
- Then, apply standard rounding rules:
- If the digit to the right of the underlined digit is 5 or greater, round up.
- If it’s 4 or less, round down (keep the underlined digit the same).
- Replace all digits to the right with zeros (if needed).

Let’s solve each problem one by one.

---

1. 4,790 → underline is on 4 (thousands place)

→ Look at the next digit: 7 (hundreds place) → 7 ≥ 5 → round up
→ 4 becomes 5 → 5,000
✔ Answer: 5,000

2. 8,210 → underline is on 8 (thousands place)

→ Next digit: 2 → 2 < 5 → round down
→ Keep 8, replace rest with zeros → 8,000
✔ Answer: 8,000
