Sara is thinking of a number when she rounds her number to the nearest hundred,she gets 700.What is the greatest number Sara can be thinking of?Explain

749

To find the greatest number Sara can be thinking of, we need to understand the concept of rounding to the nearest hundred.

Rounding to the nearest hundred means that we are determining which number that ends in two zeros (hundreds place) is closest to the original number.

In this case, when Sara rounds her number to the nearest hundred, she gets 700. To determine the greatest number Sara can be thinking of, we need to find the midpoint between 700 and the next hundred.

The midpoint between 700 and the next hundred is 750. Any number greater than or equal to 750, when rounded to the nearest hundred, will result in 700.

Therefore, the greatest number Sara can be thinking of is any number in the range from 750 to 799, inclusive.
