Suppose 255,113 people live in a city. Is it reasonable to say that about 300,000 people live in the city? Use the number line to help you solve the problem. Explain.
To the nearest hundred, a factory produced 3,600 jars of applesauce on Thursday and 4,200 jars of apple juice on Friday. To the nearest thousand, how many jars of apple juice did they produce during the two days?
The number \(2,\blacksquare00\) is missing a digit. The number rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000. List all of the possibilities for the missing digit. Explain your answer.
