There were 13,501 visitors to a museum in june. What is this number rounded to nearest ten thousand? Explain how

13,501 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 14,000. This is because if you look at the 3, the number next to it is 5, causing it to round up. Numbers 0-4 are rounded down, and numbers 5-9 are rounded up.

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When we round a number to the nearest ten thousand we check the digit at the thousand place,

If the digit ≥ 5,

The number is rounded to next ten thousand,

If the digit < 5,

The number is rounded to previous ten thousand.

Here, the given number,

13,501,

Digit at thousand place = 3 (< 5)

Thus, 13,501 ≈ 10,000 (nearest ten thousand)
