Step-by-step solution for: Rounding to the Nearest Ten Thousand Worksheet
Let's solve the problem step by step.
To round a number to the nearest ten thousand, follow these steps:
1. Identify the ten thousands place — this is the fifth digit from the right (the "10,000" place).
2. Look at the digit in the thousands place (the fourth digit from the right):

1. 23,427
- Ten thousands place: 2
- Thousands digit: 3 → less than 5 → round down
→ 20,000
2. 75,469
- Ten thousands: 7
- Thousands digit: 5 → equal to 5 → round up
→ 80,000
3. 47,494
- Ten thousands: 4
- Thousands digit: 7 → ≥5 → round up
→ 50,000
4. 62,918
- Ten thousands: 6
- Thousands digit: 2 → <5 → round down
→ 60,000
5. 68,595
- Ten thousands: 6
- Thousands digit: 8 → ≥5 → round up
→ 70,000
6. 88,217
- Ten thousands: 8
- Thousands digit: 8 → ≥5 → round up
→ 90,000
7. 36,547
- Ten thousands: 3
- Thousands digit: 6 → ≥5 → round up
→ 40,000
8. 25,148

17. 36,686
- Ten thousands: 3
- Thousands digit: 6 → ≥5 → round up
→ 40,000
18. 7,589
- Ten thousands: 0 (since it's less than 10,000)
- Thousands digit: 7 → but since the number is less than 10,000, and we're rounding to the nearest ten thousand:
- 7,589 is closer to 10,000 than to 0
- Because 7,589 > 5,000 → rounds up
→ 10,000
19. 86,445
- Ten thousands: 8
- Thousands digit: 6 → ≥5 → round up
→ 90,000
20. 45,938
- Ten thousands: 4
- Thousands digit: 5 → ≥5 → round up
→ 50,000
