Let’s go through each question one by one. We’re rounding to the
nearest hundred, so we look at the
tens digit (the middle digit in a 3-digit number).
- If the tens digit is
5 or more, we round
up.
- If it’s
4 or less, we round
down.

Question 1:
*Digit on the tens place in 923 is 9 so 923 will be rounded up.*
Wait — let’s check:
In 923, the digits are:
- Hundreds: 9
- Tens:
2 ← This is the key!
- Ones: 3
So the tens digit is
2, not 9. The statement says “digit on the tens place... is 9” — that’s
false.
Also, even if it were 9, yes, we’d round up — but here it’s wrong about the digit itself.
→ So this statement is
False.

Question 2:
*735 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 700.*
Look at 735:
- Hundreds: 7
- Tens:
3 → since 3 < 5, we round
down → 700
Yes, correct.
→
True

Question 3:
*425 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 430.*
Rounding to the
nearest hundred means our answer should end in
00, like 400 or 500 — not 430 (which is rounding to nearest ten!).
425:
- Tens digit = 2 → less than 5 → round down to
400
But the statement says 430 — which is wrong for rounding to nearest hundred.
→
False

Question 4:
*560 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 600.*
560:
- Tens digit = 6 → 6 ≥ 5 → round
up → from 500s to 600
Yes, 560 rounds to 600 when rounding to nearest hundred.
→
True
---
Question 5:
*888 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 800.*
888:
- Tens digit = 8 → 8 ≥ 5 → round
up → from 800s to 900
So 888 rounds to
900, not 800.
→
False

Final Answer:
1. False
2. True
3. False
4. True
5. False
