Math Problem Statement

Round each number on the left to the nearest hundred. Select the appropriate answer.

Solution

The task is to round each number to the nearest hundred. Here's the solution for each:

  1. 668: The tens digit is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5. Therefore, we round up to 700.
  2. 404: The tens digit is 0, which is less than 5. So, we round down to 400.
  3. 649: The tens digit is 4, which is less than 5. Hence, we round down to 600.
  4. 489: The tens digit is 8, which is greater than or equal to 5. Thus, we round up to 500.

The answers are as follows:

  • 668 → 700
  • 404 → 400
  • 649 → 600
  • 489 → 500
