Answer 1

Cathy may not understand that you look at the neighbor of your number which is seven and anything with the number 4 or less will stay the same. Which would get you 1,200 anything 5 or more you will raise the number which means that the number 1,275 rounded to the nearest hundredth would be 1,300.  

Answer 2

That 1,275 is rounded to the nearest hundred is 1,300 because 75 is bigger than 50 or 5
