What is the nearest ten thousand, the population of Vermont was estimated to be about 620,000 in 2008. What might have been the exact population of Vermont in 2008

618,000 might be the exact population of Vermont in 2008

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the rule of rounding to the nearest ten thousands

- To round numbers to the nearest ten thousand, make the

numbers whose last four digits are 0001 through 4999 into the

next lower number that ends in 0000

- Ex: 83,525 rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be

80,000.

- Numbers that have the last four digits of 5000 or more should

be rounded up to the next even ten thousand

- Ex: The number 58,988 rounded to the nearest ten thousand

would be 60,000

* Lets do that in the problem

∵ The number is 620,000 after rounded to the nearest

ten thousands

∴ We can chose any number whose last four digits are 00001

through 4999 as 624,000 OR 5000 or more as 618,000

∴ 618,000 might be the exact population of Vermont in 2008
