\text {Hi! Let's Solve this Problem!}


\text {Since we are rounding to the nearest hundred we are going to look at the 1}


\text {We underline the 1 in the hundreds place}


\text {2} \underline {1} \text {42}


\text {After we underline the 1 we point an arrow at 4}


\text {Remember that the number 5 and above we'll round up.}


\text {Numbers 4 and below you round down.}


\text {Compare:}


4<5


\text {Since 5 is the largest number we round down since 4 is smaller than 5.}


\text {So this means that 2,142 rounded to the nearest hundred is}


\fbox {2,100}


\text {All numbers after 1 becomes 0}


\text {If we were to round up then our answer would of been 2,200}


\text {Best of Luck!}


\text {-LimitedX}
