Someone Please Help Me With This Problem...There were 17,000 fans at mondays game, rounded to the nearest...?

Question

thousand what is the least number of fans that might have been at the game?? i was thinking 16,000?

Answer 1

16,500

because it has to be high enough to be able to round it off up to 17,000

Answer 2

16,500 because it can be rounded up to 17,000

if it was any less than 16,500 it would be rounded down

Answer 3

16,500

You're looking at the thousands place 1_,000, so in order for it to round up the number in the hundreds 16,_00 place needs to be 5 through 9, enabling it to be 17,000.

Answer 4

First, let me note that 16.5 (as it ends in 5) rounds up to 17.  Changing those numbers to 16,500 and 17,000 does not change the roundup.

So:

16,500 rounds up to 17,000

16,499 rounds down to 16,000

The answer is  16,500   <<<<<
