Hi there ,

Answer 2

Nearest hundreds.

72, 341:

7 is in the ten thousands place
2 is in the thousands place
3 is in the hundreds place
4 is in the tens place
1 is in the ones place

To find the hundreds place, look at the place value to the right of it (or tens place in this case).

In the tens case is a 4, which is less than 5, so you round down
( 5 and greater, round up, 4 and less, round down)

So your answer is 72,300

hope this helps
