Question

What is 45,728 rounded to The nearest hundred

Answer 1

45,700

Explanation:

Go to the hundreds place and look at the number behind it. It's a 2. If you are rounding and the number behind it is 4 or less, you would keep it the same. If the number behind it is 5 or more, then you would round up. So, the answer is 45,700.

Answer 2

45,700

You either go up from 5-9 or down for 1-4.

Example:

56,891 to the nearest hundred.

An 8 is in the hundreds place so it will either be 56,800 or 56,900 depending on if you go up or down. Start at the ones place. The number is 1 so you take that down. Then you have 56,890. Next you go to the tens place. A 9 would go up so you then have 56,900. You are now in the hundreds place so you have solved the problem.
