Question

what is the answer for 1,640 rounding to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

When rounding a number such as 1640 to the nearest hundred, 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.

B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.

C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.

In this case, Rule B applies and 1640 rounded to the nearest hundred is: 1600
