Question

Round off 4783 to the nearest hundred.

• A. 4700
• B. 4000
• C. 4800
• D. 5000

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4800

When we round off a number to the nearest hundred, we find the multiples of 100 just before and after the number.

Next, we check the last two digits of the number. If the last two digits are 50 or more, we round off the number to the higher value.

While rounding off 4783 to the nearest hundred, the multiples of 100 close to it are 4700 and 4800.

Since 83 > 50, 4783 is rounded off to 4800.

We can see on the number line above that 4783 is closer to 4800 than 4700.
