Round the following numbers to the nearest hundreds: a. 127 b. 351 c. 726 d. 865 e. 1842 f. 1177 g. 2288 h. 6364
Answer (1)
To round numbers to the nearest hundreds, we look at the tens digit of the number. If the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up. If it's less than 5, we round down. Let's apply this to the given numbers:
127:
Tens digit is 2 (which is less than 5).
Round down to 100.
351:
Tens digit is 5 (which is equal to 5).
Round up to 400.
726:
Tens digit is 2 (which is less than 5).
Round down to 700.
865:
Tens digit is 6 (which is greater than 5).
Round up to 900.
1842:
Tens digit is 4 (which is less than 5).
Round down to 1800.
1177:
Tens digit is 7 (which is greater than 5).
Round up to 1200.
2288:
Tens digit is 8 (which is greater than 5).
Round up to 2300.
6364:
Tens digit is 6 (which is greater than 5).
Round up to 6400.
By following these simple steps, you can round any number to the nearest hundred accurately!
