B. 1,563,000.

d. am i right
Yes
yes. if you think of the break between 1-563,385 (1-5) as a decimal place;
it would be 1.563 which rounds to 2 (anything over .5)
To round off a number to the nearest million, you need to look at the digit in the millions place and the digit immediately to the right of it. In this case, the number is 1,563,385.
Since the digit immediately to the right of the millions place is 3, which is less than 5, you would round down. Therefore, the answer is not D. 2,000,000.
To round down, you keep the digit in the millions place as is (1) and change all the digits after it to zeros. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 1,563,000.
So, your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is B. 1,563,000.
