is this the right answer.
600,000
That is correct.
598,500 to the near thousand
To round 598,587 to the nearest ten thousand, you need to consider the digit in the ten thousand's place, which is the digit in the fourth position from the right (5 in this case).
The general rule for rounding numbers is:
- If the digit to the right of the place you want to round is 5 or higher, you round up.
- If the digit to the right of the place you want to round is 4 or lower, you round down.
In this case, the digit to the right of the ten thousand's place (8) is greater than 5, so we need to round up.
To round up, you need to increase the digit in the ten thousand's place (5) by 1, and replace all digits to its right with zeros. This gives us 600,000.
So, 600,000 is the correct answer when rounding 598,587 to the nearest ten thousand.
