What is 53 rounded to the nearest hundred?
Answer (2)
If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up (+1).
If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down (no change).
5 3 ≈ 100
53 rounded to the nearest hundred is 100, as it is closer to 100 than to 0. We round up since 53 is more than the midpoint of 50. The rounding process involves comparing the number to the nearest hundreds and deciding whether to round up or down.
