Use number line to round 73562 to the nearest multiple of 1000
so, when you plot the point, is it closer to 73000 or to 74000?
74000
To round 73562 to the nearest multiple of 1000 using a number line, follow these steps:
1. Draw a number line and mark the nearest multiples of 1000 on it. The multiples of 1000 are 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, and so on.
-4000 -3000 -2000 -1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000
2. Locate the number 73562 on the number line.
-4000 -3000 -2000 -1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000

4. Determine which multiple of 1000 is closer to 73562.
- The distance between 73562 and 73000 is 562.
- The distance between 74000 and 73562 is 438.
Since 562 is smaller than 438, it means that 73562 is closer to 73000.
5. Therefore, rounding 73562 to the nearest multiple of 1000 gives us 73000.
To round a number to the nearest multiple of 1000 using a number line, follow these steps:
1. Draw a number line with 1000 as the first tick mark and continue marking each subsequent 1000 until you pass the original number.
-1000--0--1000--2000--3000--4000--5000--6000--7000--8000--9000--
2. Locate the original number, 73562, on the number line.
-1000--0--1000--2000--3000--4000--5000--6000--7000--8000--9000--

3. Identify the two nearest multiples of 1000 on either side of the original number.
-1000--0--1000--2000--3000--4000--5000--6000--7000--8000--9000--
7000 8000
4. Determine which multiple of 1000 is closest to the original number.
In this case, 7000 and 8000 are the two nearest multiples of 1000. The original number 73562 is closer to 7000 than to 8000.
5. Round the original number to the nearest multiple of 1000.
Hence, 73562 rounded to the nearest multiple of 1000 is 70000.
