Question

. 1200 miles is rounded to the nearest ____________, therefore we expect the true distance to be between _____________ and _____________. Since we expect the true distance to be closer to 1200 we expect it is between __________ and __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hundred

1150, 1250

1150, 1250

Explanation:

When we round a number to nearest hundred then we check the tens place digit,

If it is less than 5 then the number is rounded to previous hundred,

Otherwise, it is rounded to next hundred,

Here, the given number,

1200,

∵ It is twelve hundred,

So, it is possible that it is rounded to nearest hundred,

Also, by the above explanation,

if a number < 1150 or number > 1250  then a number can not be rounded to 1200

Hence, 200 miles is rounded to the nearest hundred, therefore we expect the true distance to be between 1150 and 1250.

Or

Since we expect the true distance to be closer to 1200 we expect it is between 1150 and 1250.
