One day total attendance at the state fair was 126,945. Round 126,945 to the nearest ten thousand, nearest ten thousand and the nearest thousand. Which of these rounded amounts is closest to the actual attendance?

Respuesta :

Answer: To the nearest thousand.

Step-by-step explanation:

   First, we will round 126,945 to the requested place values;

(it says ten thousand once, so I'm going to include hundred thousand)

hundred thousand ➜ 126,945 ➜ 100,000

ten thousand ➜ 126,945 ➜ 130,000

thousand ➜ 126,945 ➜ 127,000

   Next, we will subtract these values from 126,945, and see which absolute value is the smallest.

hundred thousand ➜ 126,945 - | 100,000 | = 26,945

ten thousand ➜ 126,945 - | 130,000 | = 3,050

thousand ➜ 126,945 - | 127,000 | = 55

   The rounded amount that is closest to the actual attendance is thousand.
