There are 14,920 students at Clearview. Mr. Hill is going to order t-shirts for them all. Round the number of students to the nearest thousand and ten thousand to determine about how many shirts Mr. Hill should order. Which answer is more accurate?
14,920 rounded to the nearest thousand is 15,000
14,920 rounded to the nearest ten-thousand is 10,000
It is more accurate to round to the nearest thousand because rounding to the nearest ten-thousand is too low of a number.
