Question

How do you round numbers to the nearest hundred?

Answer 1

To round a given number to the nearest hundred you have to consider at the tens digit in the given number.

Explanation:

To round a given number to the nearest hundred you have to look at the tens digit in the given number.

If the number ( Tens digit is < 5 ) : round downwards to the nearest hundred

if the number ( Tens digit is >= 5 ) ; round upwards to the nearest hundred.

Example :

Round 3271 to the nearest hundred

The Tens digit = 7 ( which is > 5 ) therefore we will round upwards

Hence; 3271 to the nearest hundred = 3300

Answer:d. When rounding to the nearest hundred, look at the TENS DIGIT of the number. If that digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you will round down to the previous hundred. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, you will round up to the next hundred.
