Question

Round 8,621 to the hundreds place

Answer 1

8600

Explanation:

first you see that you are rounding the 6.

then you see the digit after that number, 2.

since 2 is less than 5, you round down.

so your answer is 8600

Answer 2

8,600

Explanation:

The hundreds place is the 6.

Every digit to the right of 6 becomes a 0.

You now have 8,600.

Now you need to see if you keep the 6 or if it goes up by 1 to 7.

The first digit you dropped after the 6 is 2. Since 2 is less than 5, the 6 remains as 6 and does not go up by 1 to 7.

Answer: 8,600
