Math Problem Statement
Round 982.99238001 to the nearest hundred.
Solution
To round the number 982.99238001 to the nearest hundred, follow these steps:
- Identify the digit in the hundreds place. In 982.99238001, the hundreds digit is 9.
- Look at the digit in the tens place (which is the next digit to the right). In this case, it is 8.
- 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.
