$1,000 = 1,000$

$1,140< 1,150$

$1,100 = 1.100$

$1,140>1,150$

Answer:

$1,100 = 1,100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1,143 and 1,149

Required

Which of the option is correct

We start by approximating both numbers to nearest digit

1,143; when approximated to nearest hundred is 1,100

1,149; when approximated to nearest hundred is also 1,100

Hence;

1,143 ≅ 1,100

1,149 ≅ 1,100

Comparing both results, we have that

$1,100 = 1,100$

From the list of given options, option C is correct;
