Round 436 406 to the nearest ten thousand.
- 440 000
- 400 000
- 436 000
- 430 000
Show answer
440 000
Hint: Look at the digit just to the right of the ten thousands place. If it is 5 or more, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. Then every place to the right becomes 0.
Question 2
Write 1/100 as a decimal.
1/100 = ?
answer box
Show answer
0.01
Hint: The denominator tells you the last place: 10 → tenths, 100 → hundredths, 1000 → thousandths. Use zeros to fill any empty places.
