Answer
To find the total population of the five towns, you need to add up the population of each town and round the result to the nearest thousand.
Let's calculate:
Population of the first town = 15,600 (rounded to the nearest hundred)
Population of the second town = 17,300 (rounded to the nearest hundred)
Population of the third town = 62,800 (rounded to the nearest hundred)
Population of the fourth town = 7,400 (rounded to the nearest hundred)
Population of the fifth town = 34,400 (rounded to the nearest hundred)
Now, add up the populations:
15,600 + 17,300 + 62,800 + 7,400 + 34,400 = 137,500
To round this sum to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds digit. In this case, the hundreds digit is 5. Since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next thousand.
Therefore, the total population of the five towns to the nearest thousand is 138,000.
