Question

Match the given materials placed in the closet with their nearest hundreds.

• A. 300
• B. 200
• C. 400
• D. 100

Answer 1

For the nearest hundred, we compare the digits at the tens place with 5.

If the digit is less than 5, we round down.
If the digit is 5 or more, we round up.


Let us now round off the number of materials in the closet by using place value chart.

For the first option,
Number of shirts = 264
On rounding we get,


So, 264 shirts rounded off to the nearest hundred is equal to 300.

For the second option,
Number of trousers = 371
On rounding we get,


So, 371 trousers rounded off to the nearest hundred is equal to 400.

For the third option,
Number of caps = 222
On rounding we get,


So, 222 caps rounded off to the nearest hundred is equal to 200.


And finally for the fourth option,
Number of blazers = 138
On rounding we get,


So, 138 blazzers rounded off to the nearest hundred is equal to 100.

Thus, after matching the values with their rounded off numbers, we get the following table:

Materials present in closet	Rounded off numbers
264 shirts	300
371 trousers	400
222 caps	200
138 blazers	100
