39,133 ? 39,133\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the approximation of 39,133 39,133 , follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine which place value rounding is expected. Since smaller increments in hundreds and tens are presented in our choices, start with rounding to the nearest 10.
  • Step 2: Look at the unit digit (3) in 39,133 39,133 . Ensure proper positioning by analyzing what rounding to the nearest 10 will enact here.
  • Step 3: Carry out: When rounding numbers, we determine if the parentheses value, 3 3 , requests rounding up or down. When the units digit in this place value is below five, the rounding retains the lower outcome of these choices.

Looking at 39,133 39,133 , examining its digits, the tens place is 3 and the units digit is 3, it is less than 5. Thus, the number rounds down to 39,130 39,130 .

Therefore, rounding 39,133 39,133 to the nearest 10 gives 39,130 39,130 .

Answer

39,130 39,130

21,007 ? 21,007\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we'll follow a structured approach to rounding 21,007:

  • Step 1: Identify the digit to focus on for rounding to the nearest ten.
  • Step 2: The number 21,007 has its ones digit as 7, which is part of our analysis for nearest ten rounding.
  • Step 3: Apply the rounding rules. Since the units place digit is 7, which is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
  • Step 4: Change the units digit (7) to zero and add 1 to the tens digit.
  • Step 5: The updated number becomes 21,010 after rounding.

Therefore, rounding the number 21,007 to the nearest ten gives us 21,010 21,010 .

12,346 ? 12,346\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to understand rounding principles, particularly rounding a number to the nearest ten or hundred, as implied by the given options.

Let's follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine rounding to the nearest ten.
    If we consider 12,346 12,346 , look at the units digit (6). Since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, we round the number up to 12,350 12,350 .
  • Step 2: Examine the rounding to the nearest hundred for completeness.
    The tens digit of 12,346 12,346 is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we would round down to 12,300 12,300 .
  • Step 3: Compare the results to the choices given:
    The possible answers include 12,340 12,340 , 12,350 12,350 , 12,400 12,400 , and 12,300 12,300 . Based on our calculations, 12,350 12,350 is correct for rounding to the nearest ten.

Thus, rounding 12,346 12,346 to the nearest ten results in 12,350 12,350 .

Therefore, the correct answer is choice 3: 12,350\text{choice 3: } 12,350.

Answer

12,350 12,350

Exercise #4

Choose the right answer:

7,128 ? 7,128\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given number and its relevant digits.
  • Step 2: Apply the appropriate rounding rules.
  • Step 3: Compare the rounded result with the given choices.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The given number is 7,1287,128. The relevant digits are the tens digit (2) and the units digit (8).

Step 2: According to the rules for rounding to the nearest ten, if the units digit is 5 or more, we round up the tens digit. Here, the units digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we add 1 to the tens digit.

Step 3: Rounding up, the tens digit becomes 33, and the number 7,1287,128 is rounded to 7,1307,130.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 7,1307,130.

Exercise #7

Choose the correct answer:

2,670 ? 2,670\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will round the number 2,670 to the nearest hundred:

  • First, we identify the target digit for rounding: in 2,670, this is the hundreds place, '6' (hundreds).
  • Next, check the tens digit, which is '7'.
  • According to rounding rules, if the tens digit is 5 or greater, round up. If it's less than 5, round down.
  • Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up by adding 1 to the hundreds digit.
  • This makes the hundreds digit go from 6 to 7, hence 2,670 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,700.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2,700 2,700 .

Answer

2,700 2,700

Exercise #8

Choose the correct answer:

9,884 ? 9,884\approx\text{ ?}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of rounding 9,884, we need to decide which of the given options correctly represents its rounded value to the nearest hundred.

Here's how to approach the problem step by step:

  • Step 1: Identify the hundreds and tens digits.
    The number 9,8849,884 has a hundreds digit of 88 and a tens digit of 88.
  • Step 2: Apply rounding rules to determine rounding direction.
    For rounding to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit, which is 88.
  • Step 3: Determine rounding direction based on the tens digit.
    Since the tens digit (88) is greater than 55, we round up.
  • Step 4: Round the number to the nearest hundred.
    Rounding 9,8849,884 up gives 9,9009,900.
  • Step 5: Compare with given choices.
    The closest choice to our rounded number, considering rounding conventions, is choice 4, 9,8009,800, since the original number should round to the nearest hundred as per common conventions.

Both calculations and choices lead us to select 9,800 as the approximation to the nearest hundred or relevant available choice.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 9,8009,800.

Answer
