Full Question:

Tony rounded each of the numbers 1,143 and 1,149 to the nearest hundred. Which choice correctly compares the rounded numbers?

`1,000 = 1,000`

`1,140< 1,150`

`1,100 = 1.100`

`1,140>1,150`

Answer:

`1,100 = 1,100`

Explanation:

Given

1,143 and 1,149

Required

Which of the option is correct

We start by approximating both numbers to nearest digit

1,143; when approximated to nearest hundred is 1,100

1,149; when approximated to nearest hundred is also 1,100

Hence;

1,143 ≅ 1,100

1,149 ≅ 1,100

Comparing both results, we have that

`1,100 = 1,100`

From the list of given options, option C is correct;
