Let's analyze each step and determine the place to which each number is rounded.
1. [tex]$2960 \rightarrow 3000$[/tex]
- Number 1 has been done for you: it is rounded to the nearest thousand.
2. [tex]$14213 \rightarrow 14000$[/tex]
- The number 14213 is rounded to the nearest thousand. When rounding 14213 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place (2 in this case), see it's less than 5, and round down to 14000.
3. [tex]$182726 \rightarrow 183000$[/tex]
- The number 182726 is rounded to the nearest thousand. When rounding 182726 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place (7 in this case), see it's 5 or more, and round up to 183000.
4. [tex]$749147 \rightarrow 749000$[/tex]
- The number 749147 is rounded to the nearest thousand. When rounding 749147 to the nearest thousand, we look at the hundreds place (1 in this case), see it's less than 5, and round down to 749000.
5. [tex]$126 \rightarrow 100$[/tex]
- The number 126 is rounded to the nearest hundred. When rounding 126 to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens place (2 in this case), see it's less than 5, and round down to 100.
To summarize:
1. [tex]$2960 \longrightarrow 3000$[/tex] — thousands
2. [tex]$14213 \longrightarrow 14000$[/tex] — thousands
3. [tex]$182726 \longrightarrow 183000$[/tex] — thousands
4. [tex]$749147 \longrightarrow 749000$[/tex] — thousands
5. [tex]$126 \longrightarrow 100$[/tex] — hundreds
