Example Question #111 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

What is \displaystyle 549 rounded to the nearest hundred? 

 

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 100

\displaystyle 300

\displaystyle 500

\displaystyle 200

\displaystyle 400

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 500

Explanation:

When we round a number to the hundreds place we look to our tens place to tell us if we round up or down. If the number in our tens place is \displaystyle 5 or greater, we round up. If the number in the tens place is \displaystyle 4 or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the hundreds place increases by \displaystyle 1 and all the other numbers become \displaystyle 0. When we round down, the number in the hundreds place stays the same and all the other numbers become \displaystyle 0.

In this case, \displaystyle 4 is less than \displaystyle 5 so our rounded number is \displaystyle 500.
