Question

372 to the nearest 100

Answer 1

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.
