What is 500 rounded to the nearest 1000?

Answer 1

0

Answer 2

It is 0.

Most schools teach you to always round 5 up (to 1000). However, doing so is inappropriate because it introduces an upward bias. The IEEE (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) standard 754 is to round 5 up or down so that the new last digit is even.

Answer 3

When rounding a number to the nearest thousand, you look at the hundreds place. In this case, 500 has a hundreds place value of 5. Since 5 is less than 5, you round down to the nearest thousand. Therefore, 500 rounded to the nearest thousand is 0.

Answer 4

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When we round 500 to the nearest 1000, it stays the same because it's already close to 1000. Just like adding a friendly little bush to a painting, sometimes things don't need to change much to fit right in.

Answer 5

1000
