Question

The base of a statue of liberty is 154 feet tall.Is this number closer to 100 or 200?explain

Answer 1

It is close to 200 because 150 or above would be rounded to 200. Below 150 would be 100

Answer 2

It's closer to 200

here's why . . .

200 - 154 = 46

154 - 100 = 54

since the difference between 200 & 154 is less than the difference between 154 & 100, that means it is closer
