Round the following number to the indicated place.?4,272, the nearest hundred?

Question

show some work

Answer 1

It's hard to show work with rounding, but I"ll do my best.

The answer would be 4300.
4272 would round UP to 4300 because 72 is higher than 50 -- that's the rule of rounding.

Hope this helps! =]

Answer 2

You round it UP to 4,300 because the 7 is more than half. If it were 4, 242 for instance, you go by the 4 and round DOWN to 4,200. The halfway point is always 5--
next number over 5: round UP
next number less than 5: round
DOWN.

Answer 3

4,300

72 -> 100
4200 + 100 = 4,300
