Question

There are 1,525 pages in a book. Julia and Kim round the number of pages to the nearest hundred. Julia says it is one thousand, five hundred. Kim says it is 15 hundreds. Who is correct? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

same thing.
One thousand five hundred=1000+500=1500
15 hundred =15×100 =1500

Answer 2

They are both correct.

Explanation:

SInce they both are saying the same amount of pages just in different ways, Kim is saying a thousand plus five hundred, that is 1500, and Kim says 15 hundred, which is basically 1500, so they are both rounding up the number to the nearest cent correctly just are expressing the number in different ways.
