To approximate 71,089 to the nearest thousand, follow these steps:
1. Start with the given number: 71,089.
2. Look at the digit in the thousands place, which is the digit to the left of the comma. In this case, the digit in the thousands place is 7.
3. Determine whether to round up or down. If the digit in the hundreds place (the next digit to the right of the comma) is 5 or greater, you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down. In this case, the digit in the hundreds place is 1, which is less than 5.
4. If rounding down, keep the thousands digit as it is and replace all the digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros. Therefore, 71,089 rounded down to the nearest thousand would be 71,000.
So, approximately 71,089 rounded to the nearest thousand is 71,000.
