The question
Question: round 2,650 to the nearest hundred.
Round 2,650 to the nearest hundred
1 Find the two hundreds
2 Find the closer one
2,650 is exactly halfway.
Halfway rounds up, to 2,700.
So 2,650 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,700.
The sign ≈ means about.
= 2,650 ≈ 2,700
3 Check
We check with the digits.
The next digit after the hundreds is 5.
5 or more rounds up.
Yes!
It works.
hundreds digit 6, next digit 5: 5 or more → up
Let's look back.
First: find the two hundreds.
Then: find the closer one.
Last: check.
