Question

A number greater than or equal to 500 and less than 1500 on rounding off to nearest thousands gives?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1,000(one thousand) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The closest thousand for any number more than 500 and less than 1,500 is 1,000.

Answer 2

All numbers  greater than or equal to 500 and less than 1500, when rounded off to nearest thousands give 1000.

Rounding off to nearest thousands, we will check the hundreds digit of the given number.

If the digit at hundreds place is 5 or greater than 5, then we will increase the thousands digit by 1 and replace hundreds, tens and ones digit by 0.

Consider the number 500.

Digit at hundreds place = 5

Hence, 500 rounded off to nearest thousands give 1000

Consider the number 1499

Digit at hundreds place is 4 that is less than 5.

So, the thousands digit will remain as it is and we will replace all the other digits by 0.

Hence, 1499 rounded off to nearest thousands give 1000.

So, all the numbers from 500 to 1499 , when rounded off to nearest thousands give 1000.
