type the correct answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the larger number

The given range is 64,800 to 280,800, so the larger number is 280,800.

Step2: Locate hundred thousands place

In 280,800, the hundred thousands digit is 2, and the digit to its right (ten thousands place) is 8.

Step3: Round up if right digit ≥5

Since 8 ≥ 5, we round the hundred thousands digit up by 1. $2 + 1 = 3$, and set all digits to the right to 0.

Answer:

300,000
