Question

Tony rounded each of the numbers 1,183 and 1, 145 to the nearest hundred. Which choice correctly compares the rounded

numbers?
1,180 > 1.150
1,100 = 1, 100
1,200 < 1, 100
1,200 > 1,100

Answer 1

1,200 > 1,100

Explanation:

This is because 1,183 is rounded up to the nearest hundred which is 1200 (since 8 which is the tens digit is greater than 5) and 1,145 is rounded down to the nearest hundred which is 1,100 (since 4 which is the tens digit is less than 5).

So, 1,200 > 1,100
