a forest ranger correctly rounded the number of visitors to a park to be 120,000 write a number that could be the actual number of visitors if he rounded to the nearest ten thousand.

this isnt of my own, autor of the answer was

124,000 can be the actual number

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the number

- The number of visitors to the park is 120,000 visitors rounded

 to the nearest ten thousands

- The round to nearest digit means look to the digit before this

digit if < 5 we put all the digits before the rounded digit zero and

keep it as it, if the number before the rounded digit is ≥ 5 we put

all the digits before the rounded digit zero and add the rounded

digit by 1

- Ex:

# To round 12,345 to the nearest thousand look to the hundred

 digit (3), 3 < 5 , then the rounded number is 12,000  

# To round 12,745 to the nearest thousand look to the hundred

 digit (7), 7 > 5 , then the rounded number is 13,000  

- To find the actual number lets do these steps

1. Divide the ten thousands by 2

∵ 10,000 ÷ 2 = 5,000

2. Add the result and subtract the result from the rounded number

∵ 120,000 - 5000 = 115,000

∵ 120,000 + 5000 = 125,500

3. The actual number is between these two numbers

∴ 115,000 ≤ actual number < 125,000

- Remember:  we can not take the number 125,000 as the actual

number because when we round it to the nearest ten thousand

the answer will be 130,000

∴ You can chose any numbers belongs to this range

* I will chose 124,000 can be the actual number

answer: x=60
