Question

The box office manager said about 5,000 people attended the show. Write a number that could be the actual attendance if he correctly rounded to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

In the given mathematical value of 5,000 to round off this number to the nearest hundred, we can elaborate the number values using the expanded form to clearly see the order position: 1.  5,000 = thousands
Now we can observe the numerical value of 4,900 as the rounding number which becomes

4900 = 5000
4800 = 5000
4700 = 5000
4600 = 5000
4500 = 5000

Answer 2

The possible answers would be numbers from 4,950 to 4,999.

When you round off to the nearest hundreds, you will look at the digit in the hundreds place value. To round up, the number in the tens place must be 5 and above.

It will round up the hundreds to the next value, which will be 10, you and then 1 to the thousands and you will get 5,000.

Example:

4,950 = 5,000
