Question

Explain how to round 750,890,002 to the nearest million

Answer 1

Howdy, Teresa.

 

When we round, we look at the digit in that place. If the number after it is 5 or greater, the number goes up. If the number after it is 4 or less, the number stays the same. 

 

Anything before the digit you changed or didn't change stays the same. Everything after that digit turns to zeroes.

 

The millions place is the 0 before the first comma. The next number is 8, which is more than 5, so the 0 changes to a 1. The 7 and 5 before it stays the same, and everything after our new 1 turns to 0.

 

Our answer is 751,000,000.

 

I hope this helps!
