Answer: 400
Explanation: To round 372 to the nearest hundred, we first find the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 3 in the hundreds place.
To decide whether to round up or down, we look
at the digit to the right of the 3, which is 7.
According to the rules of rounding, if the digit to the right of the
rounding place is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
So in this problem, since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
This means that we add 1 to the 3 in the rounding place
to get 4 and all digits to the right of 4 become 0.
So 372 rounded to the nearest hundred is 400.
