Read about rounding off whole numbers.
Ask yourself this:
Is 2041 closer to 2000 or 2100?
Same answer.
To determine whether 2041 is rounded to the nearest hundred as 2000 or 2100, we need to determine which hundred it is closer to.
To do this, start by looking at the tens digit of the number (in this case, the 4 in 2041) to determine which hundred it is in. In this case, the 4 tells us that it is closer to the 2100 hundred, rather than the 2000 hundred.
In general, when rounding to the nearest hundred, if the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up to the next hundred. If the tens digit is 4 or less, we round down to the previous hundred.
In the case of 2041, 4 is less than 5, so we would round down to 2000, rather than up to 2100.
Therefore, 2041 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2000.
