Question

Estimate 55,000 to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

Answer:

When rounding to the nearest hundred, look at the TENS DIGIT of the number.

1. If that digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you will round down to the previous hundred.
2. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, you will round up to the next hundred.
