Example Question #1062 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Round 2342 to the nearest hundred.

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 2340

\dpi{100} 2400

\dpi{100} 2300

\dpi{100} 2000

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 2300

Explanation:

First, identify which number is in the hundreds place.  The hundreds place is 3 places to the left of the decimal.  In this case, 3 is in the hundreds place.

If the numbers to the right of the 3 are 50 or more, then we will round it up to 4.  If they are less than 50, we will leave the 3 the same.  Here, we have 42, so the 3 will remain the same.  The two numbers to the right become zeroes.

We round 342 down to 300.  The 2 in the thousands place remains the same.
