Question

How do you round 3,720 to the nearest hundred?

Answer 1

3,700

Explanation:

When rounding numbers to a specific place value, you have to look at the value of the place one spot to the right. If the number is `<=5`, round up a place. If the number is `>5`, round down.

So... for this problem, you need to round to the nearest hundred. Look at the place value of the tens place. Since is is less than `5`, round down.
