write the number 8188 to the nearest hundred
write the number 8188 to the nearest hundred
So the question is asking us to round 8188 to the nearest hundred.
If we take place value unto account, we have to look at the number in the hundreds column - in this case it says one hundred
Next we look to the column on the right of the 1 hundred - it is eighty
Because 8 > 5, we round up
Thus, the number we originally looked at should be increased by 1 and any digits to the right of it are turned into 0
As a result, the answer is 8200
hope it helped :)
