Question

16,473 rounded to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

Look at the number in the thousands place.  This number is 6.  Now look at the number after it.  It is 4.  4 is less than 5 so you keep 6 the same. Now you make the rest 0s, except for the 1 before the 6.  The estimate would be 16,000.

Answer 2

The answer is 16,000
