Question

Round 236 425 to the nearest ten thousand

Answer 1

Answer:240,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding off to the nearest ten thousand means checking the thousand's digit. If it is greater than or equal to 5, make the digit in the ten thousand 1 more and make all the digits before it zero. If the thousand's digit is less than 5 do not change the ten thousands digit and make all the digits before it zero. This method will helpful to solve your question.

Answer 2

Answer:

240,000 is the correct answer.

Given:

a number- 236,425

To find:

the nearest ten thousand of 236,425

Solution:

• our response will be a multiple of ten thousand if we round to the closest ten thousand.

• Find the place for 10,000; it is the digit in the fifth position from the right.
• so, we are left with '2' in the beginning and we need to alter the remaining number- 36,425
• the nearest ten thousand of  36,425 will be 40,000 and our final answer would be 240,000.
• if the number would be below 235,000, i.e., 234999 or less, then we would round it to 230,000. But since the number 36,425 lies more towards 40,000 than 30,000, we round it off to 40,000.
• if our number was 235,000, we would still round it off to 240,000 since 35000 is the mid value of 30,000 and 40,000.

Hence, 240,000 is the correct answer.
