Sabrina rounded the size of the park to the nearest thousands acres. Her estimate was 276,000 acres. What number could be the exact numbers of acres?

A 276,543

B 276,479

C 275,424

D 275,289

If the estimate is 276000, the actual number must have been rounded down if it was between 276000 and 276500 (non-inclusive), and rounded up if it was between 275500 and 276000 (inclusive). The only choice within either of these ranges is B.

The correct answer would be ‘B’ because ...

A rounds up to 277000

B rounds to 276000

C rounds to 275000

And D rounds to 275000 as well.

Good luck with future problems m8
