what is 8899 rounded to the nearest thousand?
9000
To round 8899 to the nearest thousand, we need to determine which thousand it is closest to.
First, let's identify the place value of the thousands digit. In the number 8899, the thousands digit is the second digit from the right, which is "8".
Next, we examine the digit to the right of the thousands place, which in this case is the hundreds digit, "8". If the hundreds digit is 5 or greater, we round up. If it is less than 5, we round down.
In our case, the hundreds digit is 8. Since 8 is greater than 5, we round up the thousands digit by adding 1.
Therefore, when rounding 8899 to the nearest thousand, it becomes 9000.
