Question

tanias rounds the amount of water in her swimming pool to 41 100 liters. which two alternatives could be the exact amount of water in the pool if the amount was rounded to the nearest hundred?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rounding - to - nearest - hundred rule

If rounding to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit. If the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up; if it is less than 5, we round down.

Step2: Determine the range

The number 41100 was rounded to the nearest hundred. The numbers that round to 41100 are in the range from 41050 (because when 41050 is rounded to the nearest hundred, since 5 in the tens place, it rounds up to 41100) to 41149 (because when 41149 is rounded to the nearest hundred, since 4 in the tens place, it rounds down to 41100).

Answer:

Any two numbers in the range 41050 - 41149 could be the exact amount. For example, 41060 and 41120.
