Let’s solve each problem step by step.
We are rounding to the
nearest hundred.
Rule:
Look at the
tens digit (the middle digit in a 3-digit number).
- If it’s
5 or more, round
up the hundreds digit by 1, and change the last two digits to 00.
- If it’s
4 or less, keep the hundreds digit the same, and change the last two digits to 00.
Let’s go one by one:
---
561 → tens digit is
6 → 6 ≥ 5 → round up → 500 + 100 =
600
429 → tens digit is
2 → 2 ≤ 4 → keep 400 →
400
648 → tens digit is
4 → 4 ≤ 4 → keep 600 →
600
671 → tens digit is
7 → 7 ≥ 5 → round up → 600 + 100 =
700
890 → tens digit is
9 → 9 ≥ 5 → round up → 800 + 100 =
900
350 → tens digit is
5 → 5 ≥ 5 → round up → 300 + 100 =
400
745 → tens digit is
4 → 4 ≤ 4 → keep 700 →
700
949 → tens digit is
4 → 4 ≤ 4 → keep 900 →
900
690 → tens digit is
9 → 9 ≥ 5 → round up → 600 + 100 =
700
856 → tens digit is
5 → 5 ≥ 5 → round up → 800 + 100 =
900
589 → tens digit is
8 → 8 ≥ 5 → round up → 500 + 100 =
600
362 → tens digit is
6 → 6 ≥ 5 → round up → 300 + 100 =
400

Final Answer:
561 → 600
429 → 400
648 → 600
671 → 700
890 → 900
350 → 400
745 → 700
949 → 900
690 → 700
856 → 900
589 → 600
362 → 400
