Question

i dont know how to dp this plz help

Answer 1

299,566..075 rounded to the nearest thousand

the first right-most 9 is in the thousands place and the 5 in the hundreds place tells you to round up

the 9 becomes a 10 so you put down the 0 and carry the 1

the second 9 on the left becomes a 10 so you put down the 0 and carry the 1 so that the 2 becomes a 3

300,000 is the answer but looking at this number it could have been rounded to the nearest 100,000, 10,000, 1000, 100, and so on

to indicate that the number was rounded to the nearest 1000, you put a dash under the 0 in the thousands place

300,000 indicates that the number was rounded to the nearest 1000

I give up. Anyway, put a dash "_" under the 0 in the thousands place.
