Question
The owner of an olive grove wants to round the total number of olives he harvested to the nearest thousand. If he harvested 12,621 olives, then the rounded total is _______.
- 12,000
- 1,200
- 10,000
- 13,000
Hint:
In order to round a number to the nearest thousand, we need to check the digit to the immediate right of the thousands place, that is the hundreds place.
If the digit in the hundreds place is less than 5, we do not change the digit on the thousands place or greater than 5 we should roundup to the next thousands
