amilapsn · Answer

first you've to round the values to the nearest thousand, then you've to do the same thing done for 179000...

firejay5 · Answer

44,589 would be 45,000
99,278 would be 100,000
8,443 would be 9,000

178651 would be 179000 stem 17 leaf 9
44,589 would be 45,000 stem 4 leaf 5
99,278 would be 100,000 stem __  leaf __ 
8,443 would be 9,000 stem __ leaf __

$$\Large\sf\color{red}{\text{Whoops: I just noticed these:}\
\text{99,278 would be 100,000 stem __ leaf __ }\
\text{8,443 would be 9,000 stem __ leaf __}\
}
\color{blue}{\text{They should be corrected as:}\ }
\text{99,278 would be 99,000 stem __ leaf __ }$$
