The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To round numbers to the place of the underlined digit, we need to first identify the place value and then look at the digit immediately to the right of it. If that digit is 5 or greater, we round the underlined digit up by 1. If it\u2019s less than 5, we leave the underlined digit as it is and change all digits to the right to zero or remove them if rounding to decimal places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s break down each number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the large numbers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
4,725,806<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the hundousands<\/strong> place (second digit from the left):\n
\n
4,725,806<\/strong> rounds to 4,700,000<\/strong> because the next digit (2) is less than 5, so the 7 stays the same, and all digits to the right become zero.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
165,023,912<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the millions<\/strong> place (7th digit from the left):\n
\n
165,023,912<\/strong> rounds to 165,000,000<\/strong> because the next digit (0) is less than 5, so the 2 becomes a 0, and everything to the right is replaced with zeros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
489,334,209<\/strong> \u2013 Assuming the underlined digit is in the millions<\/strong> place (5th digit from the left):\n
\n
489,334,209<\/strong> rounds to 489,000,000<\/strong> because the next digit (3) is less than 5, so the 3 becomes a 0, and the rest is replaced with zeros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
324,650<\/strong> \u2013 Assuming the underlined digit is in the thousands<\/strong> place (4th digit from the left):\n
\n
324,650<\/strong> rounds to 325,000<\/strong> because the next digit (6) is 5 or greater, so we round up to 325,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
8,237,650<\/strong> \u2013 Assuming the underlined digit is in the millions<\/strong> place (2nd digit from the left):\n
\n
8,237,650<\/strong> rounds to 8,200,000<\/strong> because the next digit (3) is less than 5, so the 2 remains the same, and all digits to the right become zero.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
For the decimal numbers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
7.049<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the tenths<\/strong> place (1st digit after the decimal point):\n
\n
7.049<\/strong> rounds to 7.0<\/strong> because the next digit (4) is less than 5, so the 0 stays, and everything to the right becomes 0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
18.692<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the hundredths<\/strong> place (2nd digit after the decimal):\n
\n
18.692<\/strong> rounds to 18.69<\/strong> because the next digit (2) is less than 5, so the 2 stays, and everything after it is removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
32.6<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the tenths<\/strong> place (1st digit after the decimal):\n
\n
32.6<\/strong> rounds to 33<\/strong> because the next digit (6) is greater than 5, so we round up to the nearest whole number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
32.073<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the hundredths<\/strong> place (2nd digit after the decimal):\n
\n
32.073<\/strong> rounds to 32.07<\/strong> because the next digit (3) is less than 5, so the 3 stays, and everything after it is removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
0.94563<\/strong> \u2013 Let\u2019s assume the underlined digit is in the thousandths<\/strong> place (3rd digit after the decimal):\n
\n
0.94563<\/strong> rounds to 0.946<\/strong> because the next digit (6) is 5 or greater, so we round up to 0.946.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Rounding helps simplify numbers for ease of calculation or when an approximation is sufficient. Always remember the rule about rounding up when the next digit is 5 or more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
