round 49.285371 to the nearest thousand

Question

round to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

49.285371 = 0049.285371

there's a 0 in the thousands place.

one digit to the right, in the hundreds place, is also 0.

the digit in the hundreds place is less than 5, so we leave the digit in the thousands place alone.

everything to the right of the thousands place is replaced with 0s

0000.000000 = 0

 

if you meant to the nearest thousandth, then:

49.285371

there's a 5 in the thousandths place

one digit over, in the ten thousandths place, is a 3.

3 is less than 5, so we leave the thousandths place alone and replace everything to the right with 0s.

49.285000 or just 49.285
