Question

Round off $182$ to the nearest hundred and choose the correct option.

• A. $170$
• B. $180$
• C. $200$
• D. $100$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $200$

Let’s check on the number line. $182$ lies between $100$ and $200$.
To find the nearest hundred, we check the digit at the tens place. If the digit is less than 5, round it down to the nearest hundred. If the digit is 5 or higher, round it up to the nearest hundred.
In $182,$ the digit at tens place (8) is greater than 5. So, the nearest hundred of $182$ is $200.$
By rounding off $172$ to the nearest hundred, you get $200$

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
