Question

How do you round 21,253 to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

21,300

Explanation:

When rounding by the hundred, first you need to look at the hundreds place. After that, you'll look at the number to the right of it. If it's 5 or higher, add 1 to the original number in hundreds place, so 21,300. If it's 4 or lower, leave the original number there.

Answer 2

Answer: 21,300

Explanation:

To round to the nearest hundred, first we will find the hundred place. This is the second 2 (21,253). Next, we will look to the tens place. This is the 5 (21,253). If the tens place is 5 or greater, we round the 2 up to 3. If it's 4 or lower, we keep the 2 as 2.

Here, since 5 is 5 or greater, we round the 2 up to 3. Then we are left with 21,300.

`\displaystyle 21,\boxed{2}53 \rightarrow 21,300`
