The San Juanico Bridge is 2,162 meters long. How is the number rounded off to the nearest thousands?
A. 2200 b. 2000 c. 3000 d. 2160
To round 2,162 meters to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place, which is 1 (in 2,162). Since 1 is less than 5, we round down.
Therefore, 2,162 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000.
The correct answer is b. 2000.
