Question

What is 2,142 rounded to the nearst hundred

Answer 1

$\text {Hi! Let's Solve this Problem!}$

$\text {Since we are rounding to the nearest hundred we are going to look at the 1}$

$\text {We underline the 1 in the hundreds place}$

$\text {2} \underline {1} \text {42}$

$\text {After we underline the 1 we point an arrow at 4}$

$\text {Remember that the number 5 and above we'll round up.}$

$\text {Numbers 4 and below you round down.}$

$\text {Compare:}$

$4$

$\text {Since 5 is the largest number we round down since 4 is smaller than 5.}$

$\text {So this means that 2,142 rounded to the nearest hundred is}$

$\fbox {2,100}$

$\text {All numbers after 1 becomes 0}$

$\text {If we were to round up then our answer would of been 2,200}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$
