Question

A marathon is a race that is 46,145 yards long. Round this number to the nearest hundred.

Answer 1

The answer is 46, 100. The 1 is in the hundredths place, so it stays the same. 4 is not greater than 5 so it becomes 0, including the 5.

Answer 2

The answer would be 46,100

Explanation:

The answer woUld be 46,100 because the 1 is in the hundreds place, so you’re supposed to determine if you round up or stay the same by the number next to it, which is 4. The number you need to round up is five or higher, and if the number is not 5 and higher, 4 and below, then you stay the same. Therefore, the answer would be 46,100
