Expert Answer

To round a decimal, determine the target place value and examine the digit to its right. If the digit is less than 5, round down; if it's equal to or greater than 5, round up.

The places that would change would be the tens place and the ones place, since 4888 plus 2 = 4890. Therefore, the thousands place remains the same and the hundreds place remains the same.
