Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Anytime that you are rounding a number, there is a rule that you should follow:
"Anything 1 - 4 is closest to the number before, or the lower side. Anything 5 - 9 is closest to the higher side of whatever round you are trying to get to."
If that doesn't make sense, let me explain.
In this case, we need to look at the hundreds placement, which is the 3 in this situation. But we can't look at that, because then we would be rounding to the nearest thousand.
(Important:) So, we need to look at the number behind it, which is 8. Eight is on the higher side of 5 - 9, which means that it grants us permission to round to the next hundred.
The is: 4,400.
I hope this helps.
