When you round something you take the number to the nearest whole. For instance 140 rounded to the nearest hundred (the place value) will be 100
while 160 would become 200

round to the place value of the bold digit of 57,294
It means to take the number like 24 and round it to the closest ten which is 20 not 30. BTW watch your english Hope This Helps! :)
In the number 3,400 the greatest place would be the 3. And in 800, the greatest place would be the 8. Basically it is the highest value in a number.
To "round" means that you slightly alter a number to bring it to a more even quantity. It is possible to round to any place value. If you were rounding to the nearest ten, anything greater than or equal to five but less than ten would round to ten and anything less than five but greater than zero would round to zero. This is a general rule that holds true regardless of place value.
It represents the tenths place.
