Answer 2

The round value to the nearest ten and hundred of number 762 is 760 and 800 respectively.

Explanation:

While rounding off the number we have to follow certain rules:

1. If the rightmost digit to be removed is more than 5, the preceding number is increased by one. For example: 1.8 ≈ 5
2. If the rightmost digit to be removed is less than 5, the preceding number is not changed. For example: 23.1 ≈ 23
3. If the rightmost digit to be removed is 5, then the preceding number is not changed if it is an even number but it is increased by one if it is an odd number. For example: 0.45 ≈ 0.4, 0.75≈ 0.8

762 ≈ 760 round off to the nearest ten

762 ≈ 800 round off to the nearest hundred
