Question

Solve by rounding off to the nearest hundred: 896×576​

Answer 1

In order to estimate to nearest hundreds we follow the following procedure:

Step I: Obtain the number.

Step II: Examine the digit at tens place.

Step III: If the digit at tens place is less than 5, replace each one of the digits at tens and ones or units place by 0 and keep all other digits as they are.

If the digit at tens place is 5 or greater than 5, increase the digit at hundreds place by 1 and replace each one of the digits at tens and ones place by 0.

The number so obtained is the number rounded off to the nearest hundreds.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will tell you what 896 is rounded to the nearest hundred and also show you what rules we used to get to the answer.

Remember, we did not necessarily round up or down, but to the hundred that is nearest to 896.

First, 896 rounded to the nearest hundred is:

900

Remember, we did not necessarily round up or down, but to the hundred that is nearest to 576. When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 576 above, we use the following rules: A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.
