Round 971250.73721 to the nearest thousand.

When rounding to the nearest thousandth (the third number after the decimal place) you need to look at the number after. The numbers before the decimal place, 971250, will always stay the same when rounding to the nearest thousandth. So lets separate it to 0.7372. If the fourth number is lower than 5, the thousandths will stay the same. This means that it would round to 0.737, making the final answer 971250.737

Answer:971,000

Step-by-step explanation: You don't look at the decimal because it's nowhere near the thousands. In 971250 the underlined digit is in the thousands place. You go to it's neighbor, (2) and decide. Is it bigger or less then 5, since its less the 1 stays the same. All the numbers the come after that 1, (2, 5, 0, 7, 3, 7, 2, 1), they all disappear and become 0's. You can get rid of the decimals and change the numbers 200, 50, and 0 to a 0. Once you do this process your answer should come out as 971,000. (Nine hundred seventy one thousand.)
