What is 49542 rounded to the nearest thousand?

Answer 1

50000

Answer 2

To the nearest thousand is 50,000. This seems misleading because by coincidence you also round to the nearest 10,000. 542 is nearer 1000 than 0 so therefore you add 1000 to 49,000 which gives 50,000

Answer 3

To round 49542 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. Therefore, 49542 rounded to the nearest thousand is 50000.
