Math Problem Statement

Round 982.99238001 to the nearest hundred.

Solution

To round the number 982.99238001 to the nearest hundred, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the digit in the hundreds place. In 982.99238001, the hundreds digit is 9.
  2. Look at the digit in the tens place (which is the next digit to the right). In this case, it is 8.
  3. If the digit in the tens place is 5 or higher, you round the hundreds digit up. Since 8 is greater than 5, round 9 up to 10.

However, since rounding 9 up to 10 affects the next digit in the place value, you carry over this rounding to the next digit:

  • 982 rounded to the nearest hundred becomes 1000.

So, 982.99238001 rounded to the nearest hundred is 1000.
