Question

Answer 1

Is 52 closer to 0 or 100? (since it rounds to the nearest hundreds)

Since 52 is over the halfway point, which is 50, that means its closer to 100

Answer: 100 

Answer 2

Answer: The number which is obtained after we round 52 to the nearest hundred place is 100.

Explanation: The number given is 052.

When we round off, we first find the digit which is present at the hundreds place. In this number the hundreds place is 0.

Then we consider the digit which is present at the place below it, which means that the number present at tens place.

If the digit at tens place is 5 or above that, we round up the number and if the number is below 5, then we round down the number.

In the given number, the digit present at tens is 5, so we round up the number and the final number becomes 100.

Conclusion: The rounded off number is 100.
