Answer:

To round each number to the place value of the underlined digit, we need to identify the place value of the underlined digit and then round accordingly.

  1. 25,230 - The underlined digit is 5 (in the thousands place).

    • Look at the digit to the right (2). Since 2 is less than 5, we round down.
    • Rounded number: 25,000
  2. 48,870 - The underlined digit is 8 (in the thousands place).

    • Look at the digit to the right (7). Since 7 is 5 or greater, we round up.
    • Rounded number: 49,000
  3. 67,239 - The underlined digit is 2 (in the hundreds place).

    • Look at the digit to the right (3). Since 3 is less than 5, we round down.
    • Rounded number: 67,200
  4. 98,345 - The underlined digit is 3 (in the hundreds place).

    • Look at the digit to the right (4). Since 4 is less than 5, we round down.
    • Rounded number: 98,300
  5. 490,631 - The underlined digit is 0 (in the thousands place).

    • Look at the digit to the right (6). Since 6 is 5 or greater, we round up.
