1. Problem: Round 86,999,732 to the nearest thousand.
Step 1: Identify the place value to round to, which is the thousand's place (the 4th digit from the right).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the thousand's place (the hundreds place).
Step 3: If this digit is 5 or more, round up. If less than 5, round down.
Step 4: The digit in the thousand's place is 9, and the digit to the right is 7 (which is greater than 5), so we round up.
Step 5: Rounding up 9 in the thousand's place causes a carryover:
$$86,999,732 \to 87,000,000$$
2. Problem: Round 1,356.6531 to the nearest hundred.
Step 1: Identify the hundred's place (3rd digit from the left).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (the tens place).
Step 3: The hundred's place digit is 3, the tens place digit is 5 (equal to 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 3 gives 4, and digits to the right become zero:
$$1,356.6531 \to 1,400$$
3. Problem: Round 498.0539 to the nearest ten.
Step 1: Identify the ten's place (2nd digit from the left).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (the one's place).
Step 3: The ten's place digit is 9, the one's place digit is 8 (greater than 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 9 causes a carryover:
$$498.0539 \to 500$$
4. Problem: Round 2.11832 to the nearest hundredth.
Step 1: Identify the hundredth place (2nd digit after decimal).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (thousandth place).
Step 3: The hundredth digit is 1, the thousandth digit is 8 (greater than 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 1 gives 2:
$$2.11832 \to 2.12$$
5. Problem: Round 16.984 to the nearest tenth.
Step 1: Identify the tenth place (1st digit after decimal).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (hundredth place).
Step 3: The tenth digit is 9, the hundredth digit is 8 (greater than 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 9 causes carryover:
$$16.984 \to 17.0$$
6. Problem: Round 3.00992 to the nearest thousandth.
Step 1: Identify the thousandth place (3rd digit after decimal).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (ten-thousandth place).
Step 3: The thousandth digit is 9, the next digit is 2 (less than 5), so round down.
Step 4: Keep the thousandth digit as is:
$$3.00992 \to 3.010$$
7. Problem: Round 84,100.52173 to the nearest thousandth.
Step 1: Identify the thousandth place (3rd digit after decimal).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (ten-thousandth place).
Step 3: The thousandth digit is 1, the next digit is 7 (greater than 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 1 gives 2:
$$84,100.52173 \to 84,100.522$$
8. Problem: Round 935.0894 to the nearest tenth.
Step 1: Identify the tenth place (1st digit after decimal).
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right (hundredth place).
Step 3: The tenth digit is 0, the hundredth digit is 8 (greater than 5), so round up.
Step 4: Adding 1 to 0 gives 1:
$$935.0894 \to 935.1$$
