Question

What would rounding off 7699 to the nearest thousands be?

• A. 9000
• B. 10,000
• C. 7000
• D. 8000

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8000

The given number is 7699.

Step 1: Identify the rounding digit, the place value we are rounding to.
Here, we are rounding to thousands digit i.e. 7 in 7699

Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the rounding digit. Here, we want to round to the nearest thousands so, we would look at the hundreds place i.e. 6 in 7699

Step 3: Here, digit that is right to the rounding digit is 6, which is greater than 5. So we add 1 to the rounding digit 7 i.e. 7 + 1 = 8 and digits after 8 become zeros.

$\therefore 7699$ will be rounded off to $8000.$
