Answer:
618,000 might be the exact population of Vermont in 2008
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain the rule of rounding to the nearest ten thousands
- To round numbers to the nearest ten thousand, make the
numbers whose last four digits are 0001 through 4999 into the
next lower number that ends in 0000
- Ex: 83,525 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be
80,000.
- Numbers that have the last four digits of 5000 or more should
be rounded up to the next even ten thousand
- Ex: The number 58,988 rounded to the nearest ten thousand
would be 60,000
* Lets do that in the problem
∵ The number is 620,000 after rounded to the nearest
ten thousands
∴ We can chose any number whose last four digits are 00001
through 4999 as 624,000 OR 5000 or more as 618,000
∴ 618,000 might be the exact population of Vermont in 2008
