Given:
The number is 1550.
Required:
Explain how to round 1,550 to the nearest hundred.
Explanation:
The given number is 1550.
When rounding off a number to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in a number are 50 or above then the hundred digits will be more than 1 and the digit after hundred places will be 00.
If the last two digits in a number are below 50 the hundred digits will remain the same and the digit after hundred places will be 00.
Now in the given number 1550, the hundred digits are 5 and the last two digits are 50 so a hundred digits will be more than 1.
The rounding of the number 1550 is 1600.
Final Answer:
Round off 1550 is 1600.
