What is 1500 rounded to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

2000

Answer 2

When rounding to the thousandths place, the most important place number is the hundredths place. If the number in the hundredths place (right next to the thousandths) is less than five (so, if it's 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4), then we round down. If it is five or more (so, if it's 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), then we round up.

Since in the number 1500 the hundredths place holds the number 5, we round up to 2000.

Answer 3

600
