Given:
562,408
Round the place value of the digit 5.
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same.
Before 5 we have the value of 6, which is greater than 5, therefore the value of 5 will be increased by 1.
= 600,000
Final answer:
600,000
