The river Nile has a total drainage area of 325730 square kilometer what is this value if you round it off to the nearest one hundred thousand
Answers
Answer:
300000 square kilometer
Step-by-step explanation:
The square Kilometer is confusing you!
Square Kilometer is just a unit. Except the question asked for the Nearest One Thousand Kilometer, otherwise, the square kilometer will just act as a confusing tool.
By rounding 325730 into the nearest one hundred thousand, you will have to look at the ten thousand place, which is 2.
Always remember the rule of Rounding :
If the number is less than 5, you need not need to add 1 to the place to be rounded. However, if the number is more than or equal to 5, you will have to add 1 to the place to be rounded.
In this case, 2 is less than 5 and therefore you need not need to add 1 into the hundred thousand place.
This makes the answer 300000.
Remember the unit? You will have to put it there too.
Your final answer would be underlined and bold : 300000 square kilometer
