11565 nearest hundred thousandths
Answer (1)
You are being asked to round the number 11,565 to the nearest hundred thousandths. However, the number 11,565 is a whole number and has no decimal places, so it is impossible to round it to a hundred thousandths place. The question contains a common error. * Hundreds place: The hundreds place in 11,565 is the digit 5. The digit to its right is 6, so you would round up. This would result in 11,600. * Hundred thousands place: The hundred thousands place would be a digit in a number of at least 100,000. For example, in 123,456, the hundred thousands place is the digit 1. * Hundred thousandths place: This is a decimal place, 5 places to the right of the decimal point. For example, in 0.12345, the hundred thousandths place is the digit 5.Given the number, it's most likely the question intended to ask you to round to the nearest hundred or perhaps the nearest ten thousand. Based on the common error, here is the answer for each possible interpretation.If it means "nearest hundred thousands"The number 11,565 is much closer to 0 than it is to 100,000. So, when rounding 11,565 to the nearest hundred thousand, you would round down. * Solution: 0If it means "nearest hundred"This is a much more probable and practical request. * The digit in the hundreds place is 5. * The digit to its right, in the tens place, is 6. * Since 6 is 5 or greater, you round the hundreds digit up. * Solution: 11,600
