The question
Question: round 750 to the nearest hundred.
Round 750 to the nearest hundred
1 Find the two hundreds
2 Find the closer one
750 is exactly halfway.
Halfway rounds up, to 800.
So 750 rounded to the nearest hundred is 800.
The sign ≈ means about.
= 750 ≈ 800
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 7, next digit 5: 5 or more → up
Let's look back.
First: find the two hundreds.
Then: find the closer one.
Last: check.
Answer
= 750 ≈ 800
