Let's solve the problem step by step.
Skill: Rounding Numbers – To the Nearest Thousand
To round a number to the nearest thousand, follow these steps:
1.
Look at the hundreds digit (the third digit from the right).
- If it is
5 or greater, round
up.
- If it is
less than 5, round
down.
2. Replace the last three digits with zeros.

Now, let’s go through each number:
---
1. 2,437
- Hundreds digit = 4 → less than 5 → round down
→
2,000
2. 7,429
- Hundreds digit = 4 → less than 5 → round down
→
7,000
3. 4,444
- Hundreds digit = 4 → less than 5 → round down
→
4,000
4. 6,218
- Hundreds digit = 2 → less than 5 → round down
→
6,000
5. 6,555
- Hundreds digit = 5 → 5 or more → round up
→
7,000
6. 8,257
- Hundreds digit = 2 → less than 5 → round down
→
8,000
7. 3,587
- Hundreds digit = 5 → round up
→
4,000
8. 2,118
- Hundreds digit = 1 → less than 5 → round down
→
2,000
9. 1,598
- Hundreds digit = 5 → round up
→
2,000
10. 2,890
- Hundreds digit = 8 → greater than 5 → round up
→
3,000
---
11. 4,982
- Hundreds digit = 9 → greater than 5 → round up
→
5,000
12. 3,645
- Hundreds digit = 6 → greater than 5 → round up
→
4,000
13. 5,555
- Hundreds digit = 5 → round up
→
6,000
14. 6,008
- Hundreds digit = 0 → less than 5 → round down
→
6,000
15. 6,322
- Hundreds digit = 3 → less than 5 → round down
→
6,000
16. 1,093
- Hundreds digit = 0 → less than 5 → round down
→
1,000
17. 3,586
- Hundreds digit = 5 → round up
→
4,000
18. 789
- This is less than 1,000. Hundreds digit = 7 → but since the number is below 1,000, and we're rounding to the nearest thousand:
- 789 is closer to
1,000 than to
0, so round up
→
1,000
19. 8,465
- Hundreds digit = 4 → less than 5 → round down
→
8,000
20. 4,968
- Hundreds digit = 9 → greater than 5 → round up
→
5,000
