2,605 rounded to the nearest hundred......now find the number in the hundreds place...it is the 6....now look at the number to the right of it...if that number is 5 or above, u round the 6 to a 7....but if that number is 4 or below, that 6 stays the same. The number to the right of 6 is 0.....so the 6 stays the same...and ur answer is 2,600.
