Know the Answer?

Marlee Koch · Answer 1

The answer would be E. because if the determining number (The number directly after the place being rounded to. The 8 in this case) is greater than five, you round up and drop the numbers after the place being rounded to (The hundredth's place), if it's less, the number in the place being rounded to stays the same, but you still drop the numbers after it.

Virginia Parsons · Answer 2

The answer is E. 8 determines if you round up or down. Since its above the number 5 you round up. 9+1=10 so you have to add a thousand overall it is equal to 6000
