What do you think? I'll be glad to check your answer.
630. i was confused about the rounding up or down of five.. some say down and some say up.
To round a number to the nearest hundred, you need to look at the tens digit and the digit to the right of it. If the digit to the right of the tens digit is 5 or greater, you round up; if it's less than 5, you round down.
In the number 625, the tens digit is 2, and the digit to the right of it is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, you need to round up. To round up, you increase the tens digit by 1 and replace all the digits to the right of it with zeros. Therefore, rounding 625 to the nearest hundred gives you 700.
Now let's move on to rounding to the nearest tenth. To do this, you look at the digit in the hundredth place (the digit to the right of the decimal point) and the digit to the right of it. Again, if the digit to the right is 5 or greater, you round up, and if it's less than 5, you round down.
Since 625 is an integer, it does not have any digits after the decimal point. Therefore, it does not have a hundredth place or a digit to the right of it. As a result, rounding 625 to the nearest tenth is the same as rounding it to the nearest whole number. So 625 rounded to the nearest tenth is still 625.
In summary, 625 rounded to the nearest hundred is 700, and rounded to the nearest tenth is 625.
