It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Estimation: Nearest Hundred". The task is to
estimate each number by rounding it to the nearest hundred, and then write the rounded value in the blank space provided.
Let’s go through the problems one by one and solve them step-by-step.

🔢 How to Round to the Nearest Hundred:
To round a number to the nearest hundred:
1. Look at the
tens digit (the second digit from the right).
2. If the tens digit is
5 or more, round
up.
3. If the tens digit is
4 or less, round
down.
4. Replace the tens and ones digits with zeros.
