[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To round a number to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand, we need to look at the digit in the next place value.

1. Rounding to the nearest ten:
To round the number 1,555 to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the ones place (5). Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next ten. Therefore, rounding 1,555 to the nearest ten gives us 1,560.

2. Rounding to the nearest hundred:
To round the number 1,555 to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place (5). Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the next hundred. Therefore, rounding 1,555 to the nearest hundred gives us 1,600.

3. Rounding to the nearest thousand:
To round the number 1,555 to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place (1). Since 1 is less than 5, we round down to the lower thousand. Therefore, rounding 1,555 to the nearest thousand gives us 1,000.

So, the rounded numbers are:
Round to the nearest ten: 1,560
Round to the nearest hundred: 1,600
Round to the nearest thousand: 1,000

These are the three different rounded numbers because rounding to different place values (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) results in different outcomes.
